Using opendir() in PHP3

[flea333]

I am passing a varialbe to opendir, I want to send the directory through the url. My server does not seem to process the variable as a string or something though. When I type in the name of the directory it reads it. What is going on? The code that doesn't work is:
$dir = "./".$gallery."/";
if ($handle = opendir($dir))

All that does is load the current directory (just the ./ part). However $gallery is a string passed through the url that has a directory 'vh' but it wont read it. When I replace the $gallery varialbe wiht my folder name as a static string, it reads the folder. What's going on?

Are the proper permissions set for the directory?

Try using is_dir in conjunction with open_dir. This may help you debug the problem.

Just out of curiosity:
Did you really mean PHP3?
If so, man/woman, it's time to upgrade. If not, please provide the current version you are using.
