[SOLVED] Permission denied... on localhost.

[blueman378]

hi guys, im using a windows machine xp.

 

im trying to write some code to include all files from a directory.

 

so i have my index.php

i also have a directory called plugins.

 

heres my code:

<?php if ($handle = opendir('plugins/')) {
echo "<!--included plugins:-->";
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    	if($file != "." && $file != "..")
        echo "<!--$file-->\n";
        include_once("plugins/$file");
?>
    }

 

but im getting:

Warning: include_once(plugins\.) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\Smarty Forum\index.php on line 76

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'plugins\.' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\Smarty Forum\index.php on line 76

Warning: include_once(plugins\..) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\Smarty Forum\index.php on line 76

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'plugins\..' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\Smarty Forum\index.php on line 76

 

any ideas?

You're trying to include . (because your if statement doesn't have brackets) which is causing the problem.

 

       if($file != "." && $file != "..")
        echo "<!--$file-->\n";
        include_once("plugins/$file");

 

should be

 

       if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        echo "<!--$file-->\n";
        include_once("plugins/$file");
       }

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

Shouldn't that be

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

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

Shouldn't that be

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

 

same thing

although on php freaks doesnt it say one way is better?

 

[genericnumber1]

it's really personal preference. I've seen professional programmers do

if(1 < i && i < 5) {

if(i > 1 && i < 5) {

if(null === ($something)) {

etc..

 

it's another one of those things like variable and method naming, as long as you're consistent there's nothing wrong with doing it either way.
