A Small Parse Error HElp!!

[daxguy]

I was trying to access my files in a folder i have to further manipulate them but i am havin the following error

 

Warning: opendir(C: mpp\htdocs\j) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\re_name.php on line 3

Warning: readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\re_name.php on line 5

filename : ( and the loop keeps on rolling down)

 

my code is

 

$dir = "C:\xampp\htdocs\j";
$file_open = opendir($dir);

while(($file = readdir($file_open)) !== FALSE)
{
echo "filename : ".$file."<br />";
}

closedir($file_open);

 

i do not understand wer am i creating the mistake!!

Admittedly I'm not certain, but you may need to escape your backslashes with backslashes. I.E. c:\\directory\\dir\\file

I can open a directory same as what  daxguy has written in the code, I think it may be something else like permissions or something.

Thanks alot Pikachu2000 u are a life saver.. it was the backslashes that wer creating problems..!!

[QuickOldCar]

I'm now wondering why I "could" do it escaped or not, lol.

 

Maybe has to do with w/e versions using, permissions or xampp.

 

It's cool you got it going.

Possibly a single versus double quotes thing, I suppose.

well another stupid issue.. well i have written the code to rename sum .mp3 files from the folder.. the folder is accessed i can read the files.. now i wanted to rename them.. like the songs are were are you - aliance.mp3

i am trying to explode the file name with symbol '-' as i just want the title of the song not the artist..

 

$dir = "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\music";
$file_open = opendir($dir);
$count = 1;
while(($file = readdir($file_open)) !== FALSE)
{
$title = $file;
$symbol = '-';
$pos = strpos($title, $symbol);
if($pos == true)
{
	$refined_title = explode($file, '-');
	$success = rename($dir."\\".$file, $dir."\\".$refined_title[0] .".mp3");
	if($success)
	{
		echo "Your files have been renamed!!";
	}
	else
	{
		echo "Could Not Rename the files!!";
	}
}
}
closedir($file_open);

 

The result i get is the songs get renamed but just with .mp3 nd get over written cuz all the songs get the same name.. the problem is that i cannot get the name of the file after exploding it.. the refined_title[0] is empty.. the explode aint working on this..

any oder solutions guys?
