Consider this code for traversing through a directory structure:
<?php
function traverse($path='.') {
$path = realpath($path);
$dir = opendir($path);
echo "\nDirectory : $path\n";
echo str_pad('',76,'-')."\n";
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
if (is_dir($file) && $file != '.' && $file != '..') {
traverse("$path/$file");
echo $file;
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
echo '<pre>';
traverse();
echo '</pre>';
?>
Now when I run it in a directory that has a file with spaces in it's name.. for examples purposes, the file willbe called "file name with spaces".
Directory : /home/mike/php/test
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: stat failed for file name with spaces (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/mike/php/dirdump.php on line 10
Any ideas why this error happens and what I can do to get around it?
