gjame Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm fairly new to PHP so I'm not sure if this is possible. I want to be able to read the contents of a folder outside of the htdocs apache directory. I want to be able to read a directory from the /mnt directory, but when I specify this in either the scandir or opendir function, it gives me a no such file or directory error. The only time it works is if I specify a folder inside of my /usr/local/apache2/htdocs directory. Is it possible to see outside of this directory by using php, or is there a compile option in php or apache that allows me to do this?Thanks in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think you should be able to, so long as the user your server is running as has access to the directories.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
