Help with file_get_contents from files in a folder

[tottijohn]

$dir = 'matchreports';
$dh = opendir($dir);
             while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
        $fullfile = $dir . $file;
        $subtotal[] = file_get_contents($fullfile);

 

I am getting this msg "Warning: file_get_contents(matchreports010407.php) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory"

 

010407.php is one of the files i need to retrieve the contents from, including others from the folder. Pardon me cause i am relatively new to PHP, thanks.

Umm use a / to signify $dir as a directory

 

$fullfile = $dir . "/" . $file;

 

[tottijohn]

That solved the error, but now another arises;

 

"file_get_contents(matchreports/.) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied"

 

&

 

"file_get_contents(matchreports/..) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied"

 

I am trying to get the contents from the files, count the keywords before echoing out

u sure u have the permission in the dir.....

[tottijohn]

Care to elaborate abit more on setting permission?  ???

Read about chmod. You will likely need a chmod value of at least 644.

Thanks, i did read up on chmod. Guess the problem is i am testing it on a windows platform using WAMP5.

 

			$dir = 'matchreports';
		$dh = opendir($dir);

   while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
   $fullfile = $dir. "/" . $file;
   $subtotal[] = file_get_contents($fullfile);
}
  	echo "$subtotal";

 

I am actually getting "Array" as the result instead of the contents from all the files in the folder. Am i missing out something?

[tottijohn]

I'm still stuck at this, anyone?  :-\

$dh = "dh_dir"";
$dir = 'matchreports/';

if ($handle = opendir($dh)) {

  while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh))) {
        $fullfile = $dir ."/". $file;
  }

  $subtotal[] = file_get_contents($fullfile);

print_r($subtotal);

Thanks, guess i am on the right track.

					$dir = 'matchreports';
					$dh = opendir($dir);
						while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false){
					$fullfile = $dir ."/". $file;
					$subtotal[] = file_get_contents($fullfile);
					}
					print_r($subtotal);
	                                //added this for my viewing purpose only

					$keyword = substr_count($subtotal,'earth');
					echo "$keyword";

 

Still, it returns 0 despite having the word earth appearing multiple times in each file.
