Hi All,
I want to get a list of files in my own sub-directory from where my .php
file is.
If I use dir(".") then I can list the file in the current directory BUT
If I use dir("./subdirectory") or dir("subdirectory") I get the following
error:
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 614 is not
allowed to access /home/currentdirectory owned by uid 0 in
/home/currentdirectory/download.php on line 12
Handle:
Path:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/home/currentdirectory/download.php on line 15
The code looks like this.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
// get a list of all the .zip files
// generate the page if the .gif or .jpg file of the same name exists use
that as an icon otherwise use a picture!
$d = dir(".\downloads");
echo "Handle: ".$d->handle."<br>\n";
echo "Path: ".$d->path."<br>\n";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
echo $entry."<br>\n";
}
$d->close();
?>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas about how to get round this other than making a .php file to call
in the subdirectory?
TIA
Henry
