glob() not coming up with any results...

<img src="/pics/Dan/40 Allen/4/201232313_33.jpg" alt="40allen" width="400" height="400"><br>


<?php
$dir = "/pics/Dan/40%20Allen/4/*";  
  
// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents  


foreach(glob($dir) as $file)   
{  
    echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($file) . "<br />";  
}  


$files = glob("/pics/Dan/40 Allen/4/*.{jpg,gif,png}", GLOB_BRACE);
echo "yo yo".$files[0];


?>
 

I'm trying different ways using %20 and without using %20.

 

Nothing seems to come up. The html works on top. It only prints the picture from the html and the "yo yo"

Shells use backslashes to escape special characters like spaces.

To elaborate on that, %20 is used in URLs. I don't believe you will find that convention anywhere else (though someone feel free to step in and correct me if I'm wrong).

it's more than just the space. 

 

i tried changing the folder from 40 Allen to 40Allen

 

it still outputs nothing. 

 

okay... i removed the first / and it seems to work. 

 

SOLVED
