IMHO, it would be better to check the constant PHP_OS for the current OS
or check the current $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to find out whether you are on
your local windows server or the linux server. So (not tested)
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) == 'WIN') {
@ $handle = opendir("c:/websites/mywebsite/extra/photos/".$_GET['page']."/");
} else {
@ $handle = opendir("/home/mywebsite/public_html/extra/photos/".$_GET['page']."/");
}
