carlosx2 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I had this all figured out and it worked too. I am using the get function to get a variable from the url, that will be used by glob function to scan a folder on the server and return an array that i will use for people to download movies. but because the variable i got from the url has several characters that are not corresponding with the folder on the server i came up with a simple way to filter them out and be left with a first and last name that would math with the first and last name and a space just like the folder name on my server. So i thought i had this all figured out on my own but then i saw that function that is holding the first and last name and space just i need it to be, isn't working when i put it in the glob function. So my question is how do you add functions to a glob path. Here is the code $model = $_GET['id']; $movie = glob("components/content/videos/downloads/$path/*.jpg"); $filename = (explode (":",$model)); $filename2 = (explode ("-",$filename[1])); $space = " "; $path = $filename2[0]. $space . $filename2[1]; this only part of the code. but it all happens in the part. Who can tell me how to approach this? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177094-using-the-glob-function-with-a-function/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikesta707 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 if your function returns the folder name you want, than just do $movie = glob(myReturnFunction()); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177094-using-the-glob-function-with-a-function/#findComment-933763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 $model = $_GET['id']; $movie = glob(functionToUse()."components/content/videos/downloads/$path/*.jpg"); $filename = explode(":",$model); $filename2 = explode("-",$filename[1]); $space = " "; $path = $filename2[0]. $space . $filename2[1]; . is the concatenation operator you can use it in conjunction with functions aswell as variables.

thebadbad Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 In your sample code you're using $path before you've set it? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177094-using-the-glob-function-with-a-function/#findComment-933817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosx2 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 so i should first set it and then call it into the path to fill in the blanks. is that right ?
