Using opendir() with a variable

[flea333]

I am trying to pass a variable directory name to a script but it seems to just open the root directory on the server. Why won't this work:
opendir('/'.$gallery.'/')

But this does when I specify the string in the code:
opendir('/directory/');

Is the variable somehow not a string or something? I pass the variable in the url, ie. dir=directory.

There is no reason why you can't use a variable with opendir(). The most likely culprit is that $gallery does not contain the value you think it does.
