Accessing Folders on a shared network

[essjay_d12]

I want to be able to read and then display files in php (files based within a folder within our web root folder), is there a way in which php can do this directly? They are going to be saved html pages and I want to be able to list them so users can view them.

 

Cheers

you want to look into

 

- opendir()

- readdir()

[essjay_d12]

i tried the folowing simple code...

 

<?php
$dir = "T:/webpages/main/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
echo 'Exists';
}
else {
echo 'Unlucky';
}

 

It constantly produces 'unlucky' for any dir path i give it

 

ANyone know why?

Maybe it cached a wrong result? Try running clearstatcache() before it.

If you are locally mapped to the webserver, is the drive actually called T:/ on the webserver itself? or is it T: on your machine and something else on the webserver.

if it's on your computer and the php file is on a webserver i recomend you set up a ftp server and access it trough http://youip:port/path/goes/here

 

think that should do the trick
