opendir() do read a web directory, possible?

[lopes_andre]

Hi,

 

I need to read files from a web directory. I have tested the "opendir" function but it doesn't work.

 

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity_CSV')) {
    echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
    echo "Files:\n";

    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        echo "$file\n";
    }

    /* This is the WRONG way to loop over the directory. */
    while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
        echo "$file\n";
    }

    closedir($handle);
}
?>

 

How can I read files from a directory like this?

 

Best Regards,

echo file_get_contents("http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity_CSV");

You might want to have a look at scandir

Hi,

 

"file_get_contents" has done the job.

 

Thanks.
