Re: navigation question

Thanks for your reaction, You are right about your conclusion how I think the code should work. I am indeed trying to run the script off one server (my_domain1) and then attempting to "feed" the function a directory structure off another server (my_domain2). I suppose the function opendir() only work for a directory at the same server. When someone can tell me what I can do best. Because I just started with PHP and I read this code in an example, I realy need some help if you tell me to use ftp.
