I'm going to make a small browser based file system for ease of small updates that I make frequently on my Website. First of all I want to loop all the files on the same directory and to tell PHP read the same directory, I think I'd need to use the magic constant I think its called, __DIR__ such as: <?php $dir=opendir(__DIR__); while($files=readdir($dir)) {

    echo $files;

} ?> But I get a few errors: *Warning*: opendir(__DIR__) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No error in *C:\wamp\www\Project1\index.php* on line *2* *Warning*: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in *C:\wamp\www\Project1\index.php* on line *3 *Any help in the right direction will be appreciated!

__DIR__ is not a valid constant (yet, I think it may be planned for 5.3/6). You should be developing with notices on - this would have told you __DIR__ is wrong. Use dirname(__FILE__) to get what you're after. -Stut

maybe this is into coding standards and ethics.. but this may be acceptable: if( !defined('__DIR__') ) { define('__DIR__' , dirname(__FILE__)); } however realistically you'd have to do this in every file and nto just in one include

which would give an error on second and subsequent define()s

, as it changes on a per directory basis; hence why it'd /need/ to be a *magic* constant I guess :) talked myself in and out of that one; but yet still worth a post i fear!
