require_once('../classes/dbconnect.class.php');

 

require_once('../classes/myUsefulFunctions.class.php');

 

$myUsefulFunction = new account_types();

 

$permissionsArray = $myUsefulFunction->account_type($_SESSION['user_id']);

 

$path = '/var/www/html/clients/conde_nast/html/';

 

if (!$handle = opendir('/var/www/html/clients/conde_nast/html/'))

{

 

mail('[email protected]','FAILED CRONSCRIPT-'.$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],'The filename contained in the subject field above failed, please address');

 

}

 

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))

 

{

if (!preg_match('/gallery/',$file))

Always safest to use the full paths to your executables. Try /bin/stat
