I have a folder called images in my current directory but when I try to run the code below I get the following error:
PHP Warning: scandir(../images,../images): The system cannot find the file specified. (code: 2) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Ampps\www\dev\php\recolor_png\dir.php on line 4
<?php
$dir = "../images";
$a = scandir($dir);
print_r($a);
I've tried every variation of the path I can think of (images, /images/, "images", 'images' etc. but no joy.
var_dump (is_dir('/images')); also gives false
Please help?
Try to use __DIR__ constant
$dir = __DIR__ . "/images";
I think your $dir is not correct.you can use
$dir = __DIR__ . "/images";
or
$dir = "./images";
Both are working. If its not working show me your image folder structure.

My aim is to download multiple files into the folder on my localhost. I am uploading them using the HTML form.
Here is the code (really sorry that I can't give a link to the executable version of the code because it relies on too many other files and database if anyone knows the way then please let me know)
foreach ($_FILES as $value) {
$dir = '/';
$filename = $dir.basename($value['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($value['tmp_name'],$filename)) {
echo "File was uploaded";
echo '<br>';
}
else {
echo "Upload failed";
echo '<br>';
}
}
So this little piece of code give me an error:
And here are the lines of code:
The problem is that the adress is correct, I tried enterring it into my file directory and it worked fine, I have seen some adviced on other people's related questions that // or \ should be used instead, but my version works just fine! Also I have checked what's inside the $_FILES and here it is if that's required for someone trying to help:
Thank you very much if anyone could help!!
You are trying to move the file to an invalid (or non-existent) path.
For the test you will write
$dir = 'c:/existing_dir/';
$filename = $dir.basename($value['name']);
If you want to move the file to a folder that is relative to the running file try
$dir = '../../directory/';// '../' -> one directory back
$filename = $dir.basename($value['name']);
By starting your file path with $dir = '/'; you are saying store the file on the root folder, I assume of C:
Apache if correctly configures should not allow you access to C:\
So either do
$dir = '../';
$filename = $dir.basename($value['name']);
to make it a relative path or leave the $dir = '/'; out completely
I'm beginner in php. With a scenario i wanted to create directory with forward slash in name(09/01/2017). How can i resolve it?
$my_date = "09/01/2017"
$new_path = "../Images/".$my_date;
if(!file_exists($new_path)) {
mkdir($new_path , 0777);
}
EDIT: I'm using macos with php server in it. In macos it is possible to create folder with slashes.
<?php
$my_date = "09/01/2017";
$new_path = "images/".$my_date;
if (!is_dir($new_path))
{
mkdir($new_path , 0777,true);
}
?>
mkdir($new_path , 0777,true);//true for recursive directory creation.
In your case if you create directory with 09/01/2017 it will be created
File Tree:
images
--09
--01
--2017
because file system not allowed forward slash as directory name.Instead of this you can create 09012017 or 09-01-2017.
Hey #Milan Mendpara i would like to tell you that you can not make any folder with name char /:*?"<>|, even you can not make a directory in you OS as well. when you try it in you OS then below case will arise
So i think you should change your directory from 09/01/2017 to 09-01-2017, IN my case i dont have ../'Image' directory so i just make a directory where my php file is present so below is you code
<?php
$my_date = "09-01-2017";
$tempDir = __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $my_date; // __DIR__ means a path where your php file is present and DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR means __DIR__.'/' and then give you directory name like __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $my_date
if(!is_dir($temp_dir)){
mkdir($temp_dir);
}
?>
I'm using Codeigniter, and all I'm trying to do is to get a list of all the views in a particular folder within the "views" folder.
Here's my code, inside of my controller:
$this->data['sections'] = array_diff( scandir('/application/views/portfolio/embeds/work/'), array('.', '..') );
And here is the error message I'm getting:
Message: scandir(/application/views/portfolio/embeds/work/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory
Filename: controllers/Work.php
Line Number: 54
Am I just forgetting something? Or is there maybe a way to set a relative path from the location of my controller? Because using the path "../views/portfolio/embeds/work/" doesn't seem to work either.
You need to add in the base path of your installation. Currently you are asking scandir to read the directory /application on your web server, when you most likely want /var/www/example.com/application
Try this:
scandir(FCPATH . 'application/views/portfolio/embeds/work')
Try like in a foreach loop and use FCPATH
$files = array_diff(scandir(FCPATH .'application/views/portfolio/embeds/work'), array('.', '..'));
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo $file;
}
I am trying get all images which are located in standard cakePHP image folder. I am using:
App::uses('Folder', 'Utility');
App::uses('File', 'Utility');
$dir = new Folder('/app/webroot/img/');
$files = $dir->find('.*\.png');
pr($files);
but i always get empty array. Where is the problem?
Ina addition when I try make dir in that folder i get error:
mkdir(): No such file or directory [CORE\Cake\Utility\Folder.php, line 515]
By doing new Folder('/app/webroot/img/'); you're actually saying your app folder is in the root of the drive, and since it isn't, CakePHP will try and create it, which it can't (that mkdir error).
You probably need to do something like
$dir = new Folder(App.imageBaseUrl);
or
$dir = new Folder(APP_DIR . DS . "webroot" . DS . "img");.
Check the constants CakePHP gives you to handle paths http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/global-constants-and-functions.html#core-definition-constants should be usefull
Knowing the answer is given and accepted,
This is a right way given by the documents.
<?php
// Find all .png in your app/webroot/img/ folder and sort the results
$dir = new Folder(WWW_ROOT . 'img');
$files = $dir->find('.*\.png', true);
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/file-folder.html#Folder::find
I want my php script to create an output file in a folder based on the date. The way I'm doing this is that its supposed to get the foldername/filename from a text file outputted by another program which I am unable to edit.
So the file its grabbing the data from looks like this:
data/newfolder/10302008/log_for_Today.txt | 24234234
Only with multiple lines, I just need the script to go through it line by line, grab the folder/filename and create an empty file with that name in that location.
The directories are all 777. Now I know how to create a new empty exe file in a folder but can't seem to figure out how to create the folder first then the exe inside of it, any ideas?
if(!file_exists(dirname($file)))
mkdir(dirname($file), 0777, true);
//do stuff with $file.
Use the third parameter to mkdir(), which makes it create directories recursively.
With
$directories = explode( '/', $path );
you can split the path to get single directory names. Then go through the array and create the directories setting chmod 777. (The system user, who executes php must have the ability to do that.)
$file = array_pop( $directories );
$base = '/my/base/dir';
foreach( $directories as $dir )
{
$path = sprintf( '%s/%s', $base, $dir )
mkdir( $path );
chmod( $path, 777 );
$base = $path;
}
// file_put_contents or something similar
file_put_contents( sprintf( '%s/%s', $base, $file ), $data );
The problem here is that you might not set chmod from your php script.
An alternative could be to use FTP. The user passes FTP login data to the script and it uses FTP functionality to manage files.

It's little too late but I found this question and I have a solution for this, here is an example code and it works good for me no matter how deep is your file. You should change directory separator for lines 1 and 3 if you're running it on Windows server.
$pathToFile = 'test1/test2/test3/test4/test.txt';
$fileName = basename($pathToFile);
$folders = explode('/', str_replace('/' . $fileName, '', $pathToFile));
$currentFolder = '';
foreach ($folders as $folder) {
$currentFolder .= $folder . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
if (!file_exists($currentFolder)) {
mkdir($currentFolder, 0755);
}
}
file_put_contents($pathToFile, 'test');
Best regards, Georgi!
Create any missing folders using mkdir(), then create the empty file using touch().
You can use absolute paths in both cases, meaning:
mkdir('data');
mkdir('data/newfolder');
mkdir('data/newfolder/10302008');
touch('data/newfolder/10302008/log_for_Today.txt');
if you're curious about where it's starting-point it will be, you can use getcwd() to tell you the working directory.
Can't you just do this by creating the dir with mkdir (http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.mkdir.php) then chmod it 777 (http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php) the change directory with chdir (http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.chdir.php) and then create the file (touch)?
