Newbie problme with chdir & getcwd

[standsure]

I am relatively new to php, so apologies for my lack of finesse in coding, etc.

 

I wanted to get information of files and folders on a specific drive. With the help of php sites like this I found various ways of getting what I need.

 

One such example:

<?php
// list the files in C default directory
echo "Default list: <br>";
print_r(glob('*.*'));
var_dump(getcwd());

// change to D drive
echo "<br> D Drive: <br>";
var_dump(chdir('D:'));
var_dump(getcwd());
print_r(glob('*'));

// change to E drive
echo "<br> E Drive: <br>";
var_dump(chdir('E:'));
var_dump(getcwd());
print_r(glob('*'));
?>

 

However, when I look at my E drive nothing is returned. No matter what I do I cant get php to show me what is in E. Any ideas on why C & D are ok but E is a problem (I have checked permissions and all drives are set the same).

 

Any help greatly appreciated…
