Definitely use the is_dir() function as Rafael suggests. Also, make sure that the user that PHP will be running as has permissions to read from that location. I had some troubles a while back reading, writing and deleting from some locations that the user IIS was running as did not have the proper permissions in that location. So if is_dir() returns true for you but you're still having those issues, try explicitly adding the user that apache is running as to that directory with some good permissions. Oh - and about the slashes, only use the \\ when you're using double quotes and only use \ with single quotes. Double quotes tells PHP to try to evaulate the contents of the string (replace varables with their value, interperate \[character] with their proper escaped value, etc.) while single quotes tells PHP that "treat this value as exactly what's entered - don't try to evaulate anything". -M > -----Original Message----- > From: Rafael Soares [mailto:design_animation@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 6:11 AM > To: luis.moreira@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RES: problem to open dir > > Hello! > > The sintax I use is this: > > $dir = 'C:\\dir\\subdir\\'; > > But I haven't tried to access windows dirs like Documents and Settings > > The only way to be sure is using the is_dir(); function. > > See you. > > Rafael Soares - AgênciaM > Fone: +55 11 4616-1394 > > -----Mensagem original----- > De: Luis Moreira [mailto:luis.moreira@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Enviada em: terça-feira, 30 de novembro de 2004 08:04 > Para: Pravin-Kumar > Cc: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Assunto: Re: problem to open dir > > Remove the double quotes. > > $dh = opendir('F:/vyapar-2/test/cdaci'); > > > Pravin-Kumar wrote: > > >hi list! > > > > $dest='F:/vyapar-2/test/cdaci'; or > > $dest='F:\vyapar-2\test\cdaci'; or > > $dest='F:\\vyapar-2\\test\\cdaci'; or > > $dh = opendir($dest); > > $a=dir($dest); > > > >the above code giving following problem on apache 1.3 on windows > > > >Warning: opendir(F:/vyapar-2/test/cdaci): failed to open > dir: Invalid > >argument in G:\Vyapar-2.0\test\1.php on line 10 > > > >Warning: dir(F:/vyapar-2/test/cdaci): failed to open dir: Invalid > >argument in G:\Vyapar-2.0\test\1.php on line 11 > > > >-- > >Nothing is working i had tried \\ , /, "double quot", 'single quot' > > > >--------- > >Regards > >Pravin Kumar > > > >On Tue, 30 Nov 2004, Mike wrote: > > > > > > > >>When you set the $dir variable, try doing so with single > quotes - the > >>\ character is used to escape things and might be causing > some problems. > >> > >>If that makes no sense, it's because I'm falling asleep. > >> > >>Good luck. > >> > >>-M > >> > >> > >> > >>>-----Original Message----- > >>>From: Pravin-Kumar [mailto:pravin@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > >>>Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 12:37 AM > >>>To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >>>Subject: problem to open dir > >>> > >>>hi all > >>>i am getting some unexpected error while try to read a local dir.. > >>>it is working on the pc where apache is running ..but same > code not > >>>working while trying from other pcs in lan.. > >>>here is code.. > >>>$dir="C:\Documents and Settings\pravin\Desktop\abcd2"; if > >>>(is_dir($dir)) { > >>> if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { > >>> while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { > >>> echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . > >>>$file) ."\n"; > >>> } > >>> closedir($dh); > >>> } > >>> } > >>> > >>>$dir = dir($source); > >>> > >>> > >>>giving error: > >>>Warning: dir(C:\Documents and Settings\pravin\Desktop\cdac2): > >>>failed to open dir: Invalid argument in > >>>G:\Vyapar\AdvMgmt\addadvt3.php on line > >>>69 > >>> > >>>Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in > >>>G:\Vyapar\AdvMgmt\addadvt3.php on line 70 > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>>--------- > >>>Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. > >>>--------- > >>>Regards > >>>Pravin Kumar > >>>Technical Associate, CDAC, 68, E-City, Bangalore, 560100. > >>>Registered Linux user #365056; Ph. +91 80 28523300 Extn:2103 > >>>http://geocities.com/pravin_suman/ > >>>http://pravindeo.blogspot.com > >>> > >>>-- > >>>PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To > unsubscribe, visit: > >>>http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >>> > >>> > >>> > > > > > > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To > unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
