opendir

[Elmserv]

My code so far

if ($handle = opendir("

http://podrlt.alimatt.co.uk"))

{
echo $handle;
}


My current error

Warning: opendir(

http://podrlt.alimatt.co.uk)

[function.opendir]: failed to open dir: not implemented in /home/clients/accounts/html/rlt/test.php on line 3

does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

PS I am using PHP 5

i don't believe that http supports directory listing as a protocol (i know that some web servers spoof this).

from the manual the indication is that only ftp and file protocols are supported at the present time.

now I am into an area I don't understand.

This is my own site & I have an FTP, username & password

http://podrlt.alimatt.co.uk

FTP details:-

Server podrlt.alimatt.co.uk
User podrlt
Password xxxxxxxxx


My customer wants to upload pictures into this area then my code is supposed to detect the existance and create a link

At the mo the learning curve is vertical !!

instead, why don't you create a php script that reads the directories and builds a file list. you can call the script remotely and parse the output

That is an excellent idea
