Hi Folks
This is probably starring me in the face but how do I read the contents
of a hard drive directory? I've been playing around with the
opendir($dir) sample from php.net and can read from the server without
problem but how can I read a list of files from the hard drive of the PC
(win98 (spit!)) I'm using? Basically what I want to do is read the file
names of a certain directory on the hard drive into an array and then
upload them all onto the server.

Hmm... you want to read the hard disk of the computer
accessing the webpage ?

Hi Hmm... you want to read the hard disk of the computer accessing the webpage ?
Yes. If you had read my question you would know why! It's for the admin
panel of a photo gallery I'm trying to write. All the photos go into a
directory on your hard drive, you log into the control panel, tell it
what directory to look in, it puts all the .jpg files into arrays and
uploads them.

OK I read it but I thought I was not sure I had understood
correctly. To my knowledge, unless you set up an ftp server
or something like that on your computer, it won't be
possible I think. Not just with PHP at least.

If you had read the manual, you would have known that PHP is
server-side, and not client-side! Perhaps there is a nice JavaScript out
there that will do what you want (Actually i hope there is no such
thing, because that would allow evil admins to scan my harddisk
contents)

Hi Folks
Well, now that's it's morning and the effects of the cider have worn off
it's pretty obvious that PHP is server side and can't read the clients
hard drive.
I really should stop working earlier in the night!

You'd probably need some sort of signed-Java applet to do that.

You lost me, I stared at your question for a bit,
are you trying to look at a client side directory, so a client can
upload pics via a web interface?
if this is the case, write an applet, or an activex web componet

Hi there... I have a huge text file that needs to be processed. At the
moment, I'm loading it into memory in small chunks (x amount of lines)
and processing it that way. I'd like the process to be faster, so I'd
like to try creating multiple threads, and having them load different
chunks of the file at the same time and process it asynchronously.
Is it possible to do something like that, and if so, what would be
needed to do so?
