problem with listing root directories (UN~SOLVED)

[ted_chou12]

Hello, I am trying to get the list directory code to show some root directories, however, i am having trouble in doing so, below is my code:
[code]
<?php
$namearray = array("forum"); // File names you want to exclude
$extarray = array("xml","jpg","php","css","bmp","png","html");  //extension you want to exclude
$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir("test/")) {//this is where the directory is optimized, and i want it to show a root directory called test.
  while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    if($file != "." && $file != ".."){
      if (filetype($file) == "file" || filetype($file) == "dir"){
      $filearray = explode(".", $file);
      $files[$filearray[0]] = $filearray[1];
      }
    }
  }
closedir($handle);
}

foreach($files as $name => $ext){
 if(in_array($name, $namearray, false) || in_array($ext, $extarray, false)){
 } else {
foreach(@file("$name.txt") as $v){list($topic,$category,$number,$datetime,$name,$username,$message) = explode("#",$v);}
 $counteraa = file_get_contents("topic$number-counter.php");
 $repliesaa = file_get_contents("topic$number-replies.php");
 $lastposteraa = file_get_contents("topic$number-lastposter.php");
 echo "<tr><td valign=center align=center>$number</td><td valign=center align=center><img src=\"\" height=20 width=20></td><td align=left valign=center><a href=\"../viewtopic.php?id=homework/topic$number\"><font color=\"#A0522D\"><b>$topic</b></font></a></td><td align=center>$counteraa</td><td align=center>$repliesaa</td><td align=center>$lastposteraa</td></tr>"."\n";}
}
?>
[/code]

Sorry, you'll need to be alot more speecific with your question. For starters, theres only 1 such thing as a root directory.

okay, this is how the folder looks like:
/listdirectory.php
/test/file.txt(these are what i wish to appear)
therefore I want to point the "listdirectory.php" to the test directory in order to list all the files in the test directory. However, I am having trouble doing so.
Do you understand it better?

can anyone help me please? what i want is just pointing the listdirectory php to a different directory, if you dont understand you can reply to this, i will make my point as understandable as possible, but please do response as i am in need of help
Thankyou

OK, the chances are you need to know the full path, that's probably the only issue.  The likelihood of your [color=green]test[/color] directory being in the root are extremely minimal!

Put this file in the [color=green]test[/color] directory, call it varinfo.php and run it...

[code]<?php
phpinfo(32);
?>[/code]

Look for the value called [b]_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"][/b] this will give you the full path to the varinfo.php

It should look something like this: [color=brown]/home/domains/yourdomain/test/varinfo.php[/color]

Chop off the file name and then place the path to the file into this line in your code, so change this...
[code=php:0]if ($handle = opendir("test/")[/code]
to this...
[code=php:0]if ($handle = opendir("/home/domains/yourdomain/test/")[/code]
