ok, so i'm using craftyminds Flash photo thingy from here and I can get it to work in the same directory that the gallery.php file is in, but not in any other directory....it's driving me bonkers.

This works

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?'.'>';

$filepath = ".";

$handle = opendir($filepath);
while (false != ($file = readdir($handle))) {	 
	$pic = @getimagesize($file);
	if($pic != false && $pic[2] == 2){
		$xml .= '<img src="'.$file.'" width="'.$pic[0].'" height="'.$pic[1].'" />';
	} 
}

echo $xml;
closedir($handle);

?>

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?'.'>';

$filepath = "test";

$handle = opendir($filepath);
while (false != ($file = readdir($handle))) {	 
	$pic = @getimagesize($file);
	if($pic != false && $pic[2] == 2){
		$xml .= '<img src="'.$file.'" width="'.$pic[0].'" height="'.$pic[1].'" />';
	} 
}

echo $xml;
closedir($handle);

?>

have you tried

$filepath = "./test/";
or
$filepath = "test/";

Both should work.

yes and yes....neither work. I'll try them again in the morning.


I've even tried

$filepath = "." . "test";

and variations like it.

What error message are you getting?

i'm not getting any php error messages, so i'm wondering if it's a php -> flash issue.

It's confusing because when i just use the root folder the whole thing works fine, images display and stack. but when i try to use a subfolder, i get nothing.

have you tried viewing the output of your php script in a browser, just to see what it's churning out? Do that and post the output here if you can?

of course... that 'test' folder does actually exist doesn't it?

after viewing the output a few times...i figured it out. I was getting output from the root, but nothing from any subdirectory, so I revisited my actual code, and found that i was missing the filepath in my function. Here is my new code:

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?'.'>';

$filepath = "test";

$handle = opendir($filepath);
while (false != ($file = readdir($handle))) {	 
	$pic = @getimagesize($filepath."/".$file);
	if($pic != false && $pic[2] == 2){
		$xml .= '<img src="'.$filepath."/".$file.'" width="'.$pic[0].'" height="'.$pic[1].'" />';
	} 
}

echo $xml;
closedir($handle);

?>
