Problems with chdir()

[Nicholas Geraldi]

I have a script that uses the chdir() function. I know the script works (
works perfectly on my host ), but when I put the script on my server here at
work I get the following error.

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2)

The same script works at my personal host, thats the part that bothers me.
The host here at work is running PHP 4.3.8. Any suggestions about how to get
this to work? or maybe another function that does the same thing as chdir().

Nick

Maybe the directory youre trying to chdir() exists on your personal
computer, but does not exists on your server. Thats basically what that
error message says, anyways.

Im using readdir() to get a list of directories(and is_dir() to test to be
sure) to change to, it should be able to work in any file system that
supports chdir(). Both Home and work are using Linux ( Red Hat at home and
Fidora(sp?) at Work ). But for some reason its not working at Work.

Post some code; a minimal example that demonstrates the problem, preferably
with a couple of examples from 'ls -l' to show what it's supposed to be
reading.

The code i am using is this...

<?PHP

function get_protect_dir (){
return array("pictures ");
}

function get_dir($dir){
$testing = chdir($dir);
$protected_dir = get_protect_dir ();
$directory = '';
$j = 0;

$dh = opendir('.');
while ($filename = readdir($dh)){
$dontcount = 0;
if((!is_file($f ilename)) && ($filename != '.') && ($filename != '..') &&
(is_dir($filena me))){
foreach($protec ted_dir as $temp_dir){
if($filename == $temp_dir){
$dontcount = 1;
}
}
if($dontcount != 1){
$directory[$j] = $filename;
$j++;
}
}
}
closedir($dh);
return $directory;
}

function rec_dir($dir){
$dir_array = get_dir($dir);
$recurve_dir = '';

echo "<CENTER><T ABLE SPAN=\"90%\" CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=10> ";
$counter = 1;
foreach($dir_ar ray as $temp_dir){
if(($counter%2) != 0){
echo "<TR>";
}
echo "<TD><TABLE CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>< TR>";
echo "<TD><FONT SIZE=4><U>$temp _dir</U></FONT></TD></TR>";

$recurve_dir = get_dir($temp_d ir);
echo "<TR><TD><F ONT SIZE=2>";
if($recurve_dir != 0){
foreach($recurv e_dir as $temp2_dir){
echo "<U>$temp2_ dir</U>,";
}
}
echo "</FONT></TD></TR>";
echo "</TABLE></TD>";
if(($counter%2) == 0){
echo "</TR>";
}
$counter++;

}

echo "</TR></TD></TABLE></CENTER>";
}

echo "<HTML>";
echo "<BODY>";


rec_dir('.');

echo "</BODY>";
echo "</HTML>";


?>

the directory structure is very simple.

/test
/test/dir_function.ph p [name of that file]
/test/test2
/test/test2/test21
/test/test2/test22

At home it gives me test just like its supposed too. at work it reads the
top level (test2 in this case) but then gives errors when it tries to
chdir() into test2 to get test21 and test22.

( you should be able to copy and paste that code exactly )

Thanks for the help,
Nick
