Re: chdir() help

Look at your code -- where do you tell it to set $file_name equal to the file handles within e:\work\images? $file_name is only being set to the values within e:\work -- not e:\work\images. If you only need to display the images within e:\work\images, then why not just set $dir_name to that in the first place? Otherwise (I believe) you're going to have to use two separate while ($file_name=readdir($dir)) clauses (or nest them, depending on what you really want to output) hth --kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "McShen" <hshen@crosswinds.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 8:38 AM Subject: [PHP] chdir() help hi Currently, i am working in e:\work, and there is a folder named "image" under e:\work, so, the path to image is e:\work\image. I have a script under e:\work, and i wanna display all images under the folder e:\work\image, I use chdir() to change the directory. but it wouldn't work. it still displays the images under e:\work. Why is that? Does chdir() work under win2k pro? here is my script ------- <?php $dir_name = "e:\work"; $dir = opendir($dir_name); while ($file_name=readdir($dir)) { if (($file_name!="." && $file_name!="..")) { echo $file_name."\n&nbsp;&nbsp;"; if (chdir('e:\work\image')) { echo "current dir is e:\work\image"; } echo "<IMG SRC=$file_name>"; } } closedir($dir); ?> ----- Please help me to fix the problem. Thanks.
