gehring[at-no-2-spam]egotec.com: nice example. I'm sure it's just a typo, but just a note for confused new users though: Change if($file !== "." or $file !== "..") { to: if($file !== "." and $file !== "..") { ... otherwise you'll end up with an infinite loop. (! (x or y)) -or- (!x and !y). And throw out the "$append" line, AFAIK. I don't know what this will do to recursing symlinks and other fun stuff, though, so anybody reading this and wanting to do something similar, might want to consider a max_recursions parameter. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41125 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41125&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41125&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
