Functions File

[peterw]

I have 4 functions in a functions file.

 

functions 1 and 2 don't cause any problems

 

functions 3 and/or 4 do but only if they are called in another file.

 

I'm only calling function 1.

 

Help PLEASE!

[Soldier Jane]

Code please! Could be something to do with variable scope or any other number of things.

<?php

 

function remove_directory($directory)

{

if (is_dir($directory)) {

$handle = opendir($directory);

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

if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

unlink ("$directory/$file") ;

}

}

closedir($handle);

rmdir($directory);

}

}

 

 

function read_directory($directory, $files)

{

$handle = opendir($directory);

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

if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file == $files) {

return "$directory/$file";

}

}

closedir($handle);

}

 

function remove_files($directory)

{

unlink ("$directory") ;

}

 

 

function get_file_ext($filename)

{

$photo_ext = explode(".", $filename);

return strtolower($photo_ext[sizeof($photo_ext) - 1]);

 

}

 

?>

What problems?

 

And next time use the code tags above, makes it easier for use to read it

It won't run the first function

[kenrbnsn]

Why do you have your own function to get the extension of a file when there is a built-in function. See pathinfo.

Just the first one?

 

Can you post whatever code your using it in (where you're calling it from)?

Good point

<?


include("setting.php");
include("system_function_files.php");

if ($setup_demo	== "N") {

	$db_connect = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);
	mysql_select_db($db_name, $db_connect) || die(mysql_error());

	remove_directory("$dir_files/$area");

	$sql_query = "DELETE FROM area WHERE area_id = '$area'";
	mysql_query($sql_query) or die(mysql_error());

	$sql_query = "DELETE FROM area_file WHERE file_area = '$area'";
	mysql_query($sql_query) or die(mysql_error());

	mysql_close($db_connect);

} 
else { setcookie("warning", $setup_demo_sorry);}

$destination = "filecenter.php?";
header("location:$destination");

Good issue?

[TOA]

Are you getting any errors?

[peterw]

Are you getting any errors?

 

No. It just doesn't redirect.

It completely ignores the rest of the code after the include

That doesn't mean there's no errors. It's actually likely that there are, but you have them turned off. Just including a file shouldn't cause the script to breal unless the file you're including is broken (that might be where the problem is). Try to see if you can output an error
