RE: Finding a file via php?

Hi Vince, Interesting problem below. The old DOS command "dir /s /d /b myprogram.ini" will give you the response that you want. if ( $filepath = exec("dir /s /d /b myprogram.ini") ) {} Unix probably has a shell command that you can use to do this. How about using php_ftp.dll to search through directories? (The above method is platform-specific, and it is better to find a cross-platform solution. If you do, offer it to this newsgroup as a class file...) Thanks.

Is there a way to use the window's 'find file' and/or the unix 'find' command to locate the directory that 'myprogram.exe' is located in? <snip>
