fread() and windows directory permissions

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, I am trying to read a directory on a Win2K installation of PHP4 and Apache 1.3. The following is the code I have to read in a directory. $dirname = "c:/temp"; $dirhandle = fopen($dirname, "r"); $dircontents = fread($dirhandle, filesize($dirname)); fclose($dirhandle); This seems to work fine under Linux, but when I first tried it under Windows it gave an error about not having the permissions to read. I later discovered that I needed the directory to be on an NTFS partition (POSIX compliant) so I moved it to one. I then applied all necessary permissions, but the fread() still gets the same error, and printing the permissions of the directory is the same as it was before. I even tried running Apache as a service under the Administrator logon, which should in theory allow it to do everything I can, but the problem was still the same. My question. A) am i going about this all wrong? B) what can be done to actually read the directory? Thanks in advance. - --nettles -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBOvfYmdJHHObB9LWkEQJZzwCfTYOmxX6349lg8TTLHUnjS+HQW7QAoNmA uuqylewvfv52bdG8XAHtuQiU =LOnd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
