[SOLVED] Simple Directory Reading Script Errors

[hellonoko]

My simple script to read a directory returns an error:

 

Warning: opendir(http://localhost/idea/gallery/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: not implemented in C:\www\idea\gallery\read_directory.php on line 3

 

<?php
//Open images directory
$dir = opendir("http://localhost/idea/gallery/");

//List files in images directory
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
  {
  echo "filename: " . $file . "<br />";
  }
  closedir($dir);
?> 

 

What does this mean?

 

Thanks

You're trying to open the directory over http.....  Chances are, that's not actually what you want to do...  You should try using a server path, like:

 

$dir = opendr('idea/gallery');

 

If the php file was above idea.

Try this instead... 

[qcode]
<?php
//Open images directory
$dir = opendir("idea/gallery/");

//List files in images directory
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false)
  {
  echo "filename: " . $file . "<br />";
  }
  closedir($dir);
?>

Problem seems to be I cant read the directory that the php file is in.

 

Got it fixed thanks!
