Need help reading filed in a directory

[eldan88]

Hey,

 

I have wrote the code that should display files in a directory. However when the code gets executed the files are not shown. Below is the code that I have wrote.

 

<?php 


$dir = " . "; // im using the dot to show files in the current directory
if(is_dir($dir)) {
   if($dir_handle = opendir($dir)) {
 while($filename = readdir($dir_handle)) {
 echo "filename: {$filename}<br />";
 }


  } 
}
?>

Try removing the spaces around the .

You could add some basic logic to help you figure out where the problem is, btw.

 

<?php 


$dir = " . "; // im using the dot to show files in the current directory
if(is_dir($dir)) {
   if($dir_handle = opendir($dir)) {
 while($filename = readdir($dir_handle)) {
 echo "filename: {$filename}<br />";
 }
}else{
echo 'Cannot open';
} 
}else{
echo 'Not a dir';
}
?>
