Re: popen, a funny thing

Hi, your script works on my pc, but not the way desired, no matter if I use the browser or command-line. It produces following output: ... <option value=1> [..]</option> <option value=2> TEST~1.HTM</option> <option value=3> HOFMANN1.HTM SORTTE~1.PHP </option> <option value=4> LEER~1.HTM</option> <option value=5> IMG_GD.PHP</option> <option value=6> RAND~1.PHP</option> <option value=7> COUNTER.PHP</option> <option value=8> </option> <option value=9> </option> <option value=10> ENTITIES.PHP IMEXPL~1.PHP TYPE~1.PHP</option> <option value=11> CHOP~1.PHP</option> ... (The tildes result from running W95.) Maybe it's so weird because you can't rely on the DIR-command. Another problem of your script is that filenames with spaces are 'splitted'. Some time ago, I wrote following script for getting all files in a directory (and even subdirs): function seekdir($dir) { $handle = opendir($dir); while ($file = readdir($handle)) { if(($file != '.') && ($file != '..')) { if(is_dir($dir.$file)) seekdir($dir.$file.'/'); else { ..... } } } closedir($handle); One advantage is that it also works on UNIX. Be sure to use a Linux-style path, so in your case you would have to call the function with seekdir('/inetpub/wwwroot/'); (works only if the script can also be found on c:) - Mathias ----------------------------------- Mathias Breiner 76744 Wörth / Germany mathiasbr@web.de http://latrine.piff.de/ ----------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Hugo Alexandre A.
