iPixel Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Here's my directory read code.. $dir = "renamed/"; $fileCount = 0; // Open the directory, and proceed to read its contents if (is_dir($dir)) { if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) { $fileCount++; echo $file . "<BR>"; } closedir($dh); } } That part works 99%, for some reason the echo $file . "<BR>"; part echos two weird things. A singe dot and two dots as displayed below.

Pikachu2000 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Those represent the current directory, and the directory above the current directory Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/224191-odd-directory-read-issue/#findComment-1158385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPixel Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 How can i avoid $file containing such a thing, i want to use those filenames to do other things with them, and clearly a file named .. and . will not be found. I guess i could just check if $file == "." skip it but i'm just curious if there's a way around this. Thanks!
