note 71742 added to function.opendir

An issue that I ran into is that opendir() could care less if you've got server authentication set on sub directories and so any such authentication is bypassed completely when accesses in this way. I did solve it for my application of a pretty file manager, by redirecting to all sub directories thusly: $fdir = "./subdirectory_I_want_to_visit/"; if ($fdir != './') { //basically where we are or the parent //redirect the browser to force authentication check on any subdirectories header("Location: http://my.domain.com".dirname($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]).substr($fdir,2)); exit; } else { $dir = opendir($fdir); } ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 68.104.0.227 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71742 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71742 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71742 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
