Hi, I experienced the same problem some time ago. Try to use \\remote_computer instead of a mounted drive (G:\). Also, there is something like a BUG in is_dir(). The is_dir function does not return the good value for remote shares. Use !is_file() instead of is_dir(). Make sure your script or the user running the script has access to the remote drive. I use IIS to do this. Don't know for Apache but you must be able to run the apache service with a specific user. here is a code sample that works for me on paths like //remote_computer/d$/Temp/ : function getChildrenFiles($dir){ $output = array(); $files = array(); if((!is_file($dir))&&($dir_handle = opendir($dir))){ //use !is_file instead of is_dir because of a bug in is_dir with windows shares while($file = readdir($dir_handle)){ if($file !== "." && $file !== ".."){ $files[] = $file; }//if }//while closedir($dir_handle); for($i=0; $i<sizeof($files);$i++){ $tmpFile = new FileClass("$dir/".$files[$i]); if (($tmpFile->isFile()) &&(isset($this->allowedExtensions)) &&(sizeof($this->allowedExtensions)>0) &&(in_array($tmpFile->getExtension(), $this->allowedExtensions))){ $output[] = $tmpFile; } elseif(($tmpFile->isFile())&&((!isset($this->allowedExtensions))||(sizeof($this->allowedExtensions)==0))){ $output[] = $tmpFile; } else{ $tmpFile=NULL; } }//wfor }//if else{ //DEBUG //print("NOT DIR or NOT OPENABLE<br />"); } reset($output); return $output; } -----Original Message----- From: Gryffyn, Trevor [mailto:TGryffyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: mardi 30 novembre 2004 15:40 To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Mike; Pravin-Kumar Subject: RE: problem to open dir I think \' is going to quote the single-quote too. Best to quote the backslashes I guess. Change all the \ to \\ Also.. Silly question.. But that directory DOES exist, right? I assume the is_dir() line is 69 and the opendir() is line 70, correct? -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike [mailto:php@xxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 12:06 AM > To: 'Pravin-Kumar'; php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: problem to open dir > > > 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 -- 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
