Reading a directory with php

Question

This used to be located at http://elijahhoffman.com/index.php?q=editorial&z=one and is now located at http://elijahhoffman.com/editorial/one

the folder path used to read just 'galleries/editorial_i'; but it wasn't working, i assumed because of the new path location... so i appended the full url to the path and it still doesn't work... thoughts?

<?php

    $folder = 'http://elijahhoffman.com/galleries/editorial_i/';
    $handle = opendir($folder);
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
       if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
          $files[] = $file;
       }
    }
    closedir($handle);
    sort($files);
    foreach ($files as $file) {
      print <<<EOF
      <img src="{$folder}/{$file}" class="imgfullmargin" alt="{$file}"/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
      EOF;
    }
 ?>

Answer 1

The parameter passed to opendir should be a path, not an url:

$folder = './galleries/editorial_i/';
$handle = opendir($folder);
