Simple question I think, but the php.net description of this function was a bit confusing. Is it possible to use opendir() to open an http URL instead of a folder on the local server. When I try, I get the following error: "failed to open dir: not implemented" The problem is this: my host requires that any media file be uploaded to a separate server and not the normal FTP. I am trying to implement a podcast system, but to list the files in the back-end the extension I am using uses opendir(). Since the files can not be hosted on the local server, I have to open a URL. Is this possible? Sorry if it's been answered already, but I searched and couldn't find anything to help answer my question. Thanks so much for any help. Regards, [b]Matt[/b]
