I'm going to make a small browser based file system for ease of small

I think I'd need to use the magic constant I think its called, __DIR__
such
as:
<?php
$dir=opendir(__DIR__);
while($files=readdir($dir)) {
echo $files;
}

But I get a few errors:
*Warning*: opendir(__DIR__) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No

in *C:\wamp\www\Project1\index.php* on line *2*
*Warning*: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory

__DIR__ is not a valid constant (yet, I think it may be planned for
5.3/6). You should be developing with notices on - this would have told
you __DIR__ is wrong.
Use dirname(__FILE__) to get what you're after.

maybe this is into coding standards and ethics.. but this may be acceptable:
if( !defined('__DIR__') ) {
define('__DIR__' , dirname(__FILE__));
}
however realistically you'd have to do this in every file and nto just
in one include, as it changes on a per directory basis; hence why it'd
/need/ to be a *magic* constant I guess :)
talked myself in and out of that one; but yet still worth a post i fear!
