Call to a windows directory

[houssam_ballout]

 

Hello all,

I had a php script that list content of a folder. I am working with WAMP, the script is at : wamp/www/script

well, if I put the images in this folder, it will work perfect, but I need to put the pics in C:\myFolder\pics

how can I call that directory from within a php?

Thanks in advance

Give the the script the full path to C:\myFolder\pics

 

Example code to list contents of a directory

foreach(glob(' C:/myFolder/pics/*') as $file)
{
    echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
}

 

This will only list the files on the server. You wont be able to list any files from a folder on a users computer.

just like that...either

C:\myFolder\pics\file.ext

or

C:/myFolder/pics/file.ext

 

however, you will not be able to use these paths as an img src..you will need to save them to the server in order use them as an img source

Hello,

Well,  the path is now C:\MYFolder\SubFolder\Image.jpg

I use <img src="PHPVARIBALE-DEFINED TO BE THE PATH" />

but the image won't show

You wont be able to display an image that is outside of the document root (in your case its C:/wamp/www).

<img src="file:///C:/MYFolder/SubFolder/Image.jpg">

putting file:/// won't work

it seems that I need to copy the images from the original folder to the wamp/www/

is there any way to create some global variable to make it work?

Thanks

as I have already stated. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

 

<img src="file:///C:/MYFolder/SubFolder/Image.jpg">

Woah...

You could get the file contents and then echo them along with a different header.

 

<?php

header('content-type: image/jpg');
echo file_get_contents('C:/MYFolder/SubFolder/Image.jpg');

?>

 

Or rather than even need to call the php script, base64 encode it and use that as the url (wouldn't recommend either).

<?php

$image = file_get_contents('C:/MYFolder/SubFolder/Image.jpg');
$base64 = base64_encode($image);

echo '<img src="data:image/jpg;base64,'. $base64 .'" alt="" />';

?>
