Problem with while ($ourItem = readdir($ourDirList))

[Americanhorizon]

Hi, i'm new in forum e in PHP coding. I've a problem with this simple operation that i've created to found any folder and file into a specific directory

Code: Select all

?php



// declare the folder

$ourDir = "/miaCartella";



// prepare to read directory contents

$ourDirList = @opendir($ourDir);



// loop through the items

while ($ourItem = readdir($ourDirList))

{

   // check if it is a directory

   if (is_dir($ourItem))

   {

      echo "directory: $ourItem <br />";

   }

   // check to see if it is a file

   if (is_file($ourItem))

   {

      echo "file: $ourItem <br />";

   }

}



closedir($ourDirList);



?> 

I'm trying this code with easyPHP, but when i launch it, it give me this two errors
Warning: readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\www\recuperarelistafolderefile.php on line 19

Warning: closedir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\www\recuperarelistafolderefile.php on line 47

I believe your path is wrong. You're using an absolute path, and I believe you're looking for a relative path.

If this directory resides in the current directory of your script, add a period before the forward slash.

works, but with some problem. into miaCartella i've placed some jpg. With this code i would want to retrieve the name of those files, instead when i execute it, this is the result:
directory: .
directory: ..

why?

/miaCartella

This means its at the root of the operating system.
Is this what you want? is this where your files are?

Or are they embedded elsewhere?

no
miaCartella is a folder contained into
C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\www

Then remove the forward-slash at the beginning of the thing, so it looks like..


$ourDir = 'miaCartella/';
Or..

$ourDir = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP\www\miaCartella';
// or however you would write that for Windows....
