eqivalent to scandir for php 4

[David Callan]

Hi folks,
I'm starting to develop my final year project for college.
Just set up dreamweaver site environment. My local machine is windows based
running php 5 while my remote machine is unix based on php 4.something.

I have already come across a differrence, scandir()
it only works for php5, is there anything similar to it available for php4.
Only new to php. Thanks for your help.

Read the manual - there is a PHP4 equivalent example on the manual page for
scandir().

Thanks Andy, found that just there.
Have most hosts converted over to php5 yet do you think. PHP 5 version is a
lot easier

Most hosts are still using PHP 4.x.x, and PHP 5 is a lot nicer in my
oppinion, much better OO features among other things.

Well, 5.X is a lot nicer, true... but then comes MySQL 4.1.X - it is also
a lot nicer than the previous versions.

The problem is, its not always backward compatible, and this is especially
the case with mysql. The hosts will not upgrade until the new versions are
publically accepted as the new standard, with very good and understandable
reasons.

Re: eqivalent to scandir for php 4

Have any versions of php been withdrawn in the past?

Very true, maybe some will start to offer the possibility of PHP5 while
still allowing PHP4, would be the best way to phase it in really.
I'm cutting right through anyways, just need a bit more hardware and a
UPS then I will have my own server...mmmm

glob() should be able to do the job just as well.
Instead of
scandir('path/to/folder/');
you'll write
glob('path/to/folder/*');

There are off course a few other diferences too. I suggest you have a look
at http://www.php.net/glob
