I'm trying to turn the files in my 'objects' directory into an array, then use them to load the objects. But, for some reason, I continue to get this error
Warning: opendir(C:\xampp\htdocs/objects,C:\xampp\htdocs/objects): The system cannot find the file specified. (code: 2)
here is the code:
public function loadObjects(){
$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir(APP_PATH . 'objects'))
{
while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..")
{
$files[] = $entry;
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
if(is_array($files) && count($files) > 0)
{
foreach($files as $value)
{
require_once(APP_PATH . 'objects/' . $value);
$value = stristr($value, '.', true);
self::$objects[$value] = new $object(self::$instance);
}
}
}
I know this is an old question but for any future viewers I will post an anwser just in case.
This type of error usually comes from a simple oversight. When developing most aplication the developer usualy uses a path like
http://localhost/myAppHome
or
http://96.82.102.233/myAppHome(if on remote server)
In this perticular case the APP_PATH is probably defined somethig like that:
define('APP_PATH',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
This will be wrong in every case when the app is being developed outside of a domain name.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] will resolve to the root of domain which in this case will be
http://localhost or http://96.82.102.233
The main directory for localhost or the IP address is going to be the diretory root of the server itself => drive:/xampp/htdocs (for example)
Basically to avoid this issue you should always mind not to ask for 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' when developing without a domain pointing to you app.
If you dont require reqular deploys you can just add the missing folder to the definition like so :
define('APP_PATH',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/myAppHome');
In case you deploy on reqular basis and you are afraid you will forget to rever this change before depoying you can always insert an IF when defing APP_PATH like:
if($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']=='localhost'){
define('APP_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/myAppHome');
}else{
define('APP_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
}
You are trying to open that directory with a "/".
Try to replace:
C:\xampp\htdocs/objects
to
C:\xampp\htdocs\objects
Please be sure APP_PATH variable is not null and correct values. There is no scandir function usage on your codes.
After that, i suggest you to use DirectoryIterator.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.directoryiterator.php
Complete example:
http://fabien.potencier.org/article/43/find-your-files
APP_HOST = DIR folder;
APP_PATH = APP_PATH + DIR folder;
Example = "C:/xampp/htdocs" + "/parent/child/index.php"
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == "localhost") {
define('APP_HOST', pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], PATHINFO_DIRNAME));
define('APP_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . APP_HOST);
} else {
define('APP_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
}

I need php to detect folder names in a directory on my computer not in the project directory in wamp server. i tried all the answers on
Using scandir() to find folders in a directory (PHP)
but it didn't work
it says the directory is not on the project directory when i tested scandir as in this code:
$path = 'extracted/' . $name[0];
$results = scandir($path);
foreach ($results as $result) {
if ($result === '.' or $result === '..') continue;
if (is_dir($path . '/' . $result)) {
//code to use if directory
}
}
I am trying this also but i got empty array
$path = 'D:\tests\Ed';
$folders=glob("{$path}/*");
print_r($folders);
the only way i could run the code is by putting the folder in the project directory ,
$path = 'C:\wamp\www\my project php\ED';
but is there another way?
<?php
if (isset($_POST['filename']) && isset($_POST['editorpassword']) && isset($_POST['roomname'])) {
$dir = $_POST['filename']; // This must match the "name" of your input
$path = "evo/" . $dir;
if (!file_exists($path)) {
mkdir($path, 0755, true);
}
}
?>
I have this script where I'm trying to create a new folder. The script itself is ran inside of a folder called /evo and by using this code, it creates the folder in there. Where it needs to go is ../../creative however even if I try and use
$path = "./rooms/creative/" . $dir;
or something to that effect it creates it with the base folder as evo so it appears at:
../evo/rooms/creative (creating the folders that don't exist there with it as it should)
I'm just unsure what to write in for the path on where I need it created to find the right location.
Simplest solution is to remove the "evo" in $path = "evo/" . $dir;
I've tried every path I can think of.
''
'/'
'htdocs/'
No matter what I try, I cant figure out how to scan the root directory.
So, how do you do it?
Current Code:
function pathing(){
$files = scandir('/');
foreach ($files as $file) {
if ($file === '.' OR $file === '..') {
} else {
print_r($file . ' ');
}
}
}
I'm moving my comment to an answer in order to bring attention to the solution for others who stumble across this question.
The directory root location is accessible in the $_SERVER array.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
We all know that ".." can be used to access lower levels of the file structure when used in $_GET["filename"] with
require("/folderwithtrustedfiles/" . $_GET["filename"]);
My questions is:
If all files within folderwithtrustedfiles are trusted and ok for require, can this be considered as secure or is there any other trick other than .. to include files from other folders?
if(strpos($_GET["filename"], "..") === false)
require("/folderwithtrustedfiles/" . $_GET["filename"]);
You can type the following url:
http://yourserver.com/index.php?file=../config/db
I would enforce the base path using realpath(). Like this:
$filename = __DIR__ . '/content/' . $_GET['file'];
if(strpos(realpath($filename), __DIR__ . '/content/') !== 0) {
die('bad path');
}
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? I'm unable to open a subdirectory within a symboliclink'd directory. I've confirmed that the paths are correct (even copy & pasted the path into explorer, which parsed it fine). This is a strange, annoying, bug :|.
Example:
C:\folder\symbolic_link\dir1\dir2 - opening dir2 fails.
C:\folder\symbolic_link\dir1 - works
C:\folder\real_directory\dir1\dir2 - works
C:\folder\real_directory\dir1 - works
Alright, I finally found a hack to solve this bug in php's handling of symlinks on windows. The bug occurs when recursively iterating through files/directories using opendir(). If a symlink to a directory exists in the current directory, opendir() will fail to read the directories in the directory symlink. It is caused by something funky in php's statcache, and can be resolved by calling clearstatcache() before calling opendir() on the directory symlink (also, the parent directory's file-handle must be closed).
Here is an example of the fix:
<?php
class Filesystem
{
public static function files($path, $stats = FALSE)
{
clearstatcache();
$ret = array();
$handle = opendir($path);
$files = array();
// Store files in directory, subdirectories can't be read until current handle is closed & statcache cleared.
while (FALSE !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')
{
$files[] = $file;
}
}
// Handle _must_ be closed before statcache is cleared, cache from open handles won't be cleared!
closedir($handle);
foreach ($files as $file)
{
clearstatcache($path);
if (is_dir($path . '/' . $file))
{
$dir_files = self::files($path . '/' . $file);
foreach ($dir_files as $dir_file)
{
$ret[] = $file . '/' . $dir_file;
}
}
else if (is_file($path . '/' . $file))
{
$ret[] = $file;
}
}
return $ret;
}
}
var_dump(filessystem::files('c:\\some_path'));
Edit: It seems that clearstatcache($path) must be called before any file-handling functions on the symlink'd dir. Php isn't caching symlink'd dirs properly.
