problem with getting directory listings

[bjh]

I'm using the latest version of XAMPP on Windows and can't figure out why I'm not seeing the correct directory listing when using the scandir() function.  The first time i opened the web page I got the correct listing of what was in the directory.  After moving and adding files, I opened the web page again and got the same listing I had before i moved and added files.  Is this the correct spot to ask this or should I use the XAMPP support forums?

I tried

$path= 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\website\\img\';
$listing = scandir($path);
print_r($listing);

I had 5 files in the 'img' directory the first time I opened the website and got the correct listings.  I then added 10 new files and moved 2 files out and refreshed the page and got the same listings of the original 5 files. I closed and reopened the browser  and tired again and got the original 5 files again.

Shouldn't those double backwards slashes \\ be single \ ?

No.

\ is the escape character so needs to be \\ in a dir path.

The final \ also needs to be \\ as it is currently escaping the quote at the end of the string.

Easier is to use / in paths (even on windows)

Yes, or the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant, which is equivalent to '/'
