array issue

Hi

 

What I am trying to achieve below is if a directory has a  _ in front of it the do

not enter the if statement but I can't get it to work.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks purencool

 

        foreach (scandir($dir) as $folderItem) {
           
            if (substr($folderItem,1) != "_") {
              //execute some code
           }

       }

foreach(scandir($dir) as $folderItem)
{
     if(is_dir($folderItem) && substr($folderItem, 0, 1) == '_')
          continue; // First character in the folder name is _, so skip to the next iteration of the loop
}

is_dir

substr

 

You were using substr() wrong, the way that you were using it would return everything but the first character, see the manual for more information.
