Re: Get directory items, read file lines...

Here you go... if( ($dir = @opendir( $path )) ) { while( $aFile = @readdir( $dir ) ) { // // Test you really have a file vs. having a // directory and then do your stuff. // } } A far better approach though, is to familiarize yourself with the appropriate routines: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dir.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file.php Cheers, Rob. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Joseph W.
