How come this piece of code will list the files and folders fine when using:

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('[b]/var/www/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/username/httpdocs/[/b]')) {

   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

           echo "$file\n";

       }

   }

   closedir($handle);

}

?>

But when this piece is run, all I get is a blank white page with no listings of the files and folders:

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('[b]/var/www/vhosts/niroxide.com/subdomains/username/[/b]')) {

   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

       if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

           echo "$file\n";

       }

   }

   closedir($handle);

}

?>

The difference between the two codes is the folder path, one is inside the httpdoc and the other one is one folder back.


I have full root access to the server to make any changes. Any advice and help to fix this problem will be appreciated.

Are you sure your root, for each username, is in /var/www ... Some are in other directories...

From the PHP manual -

If path is not a valid directory or the directory can not be opened due to permission restrictions or filesystem errors, opendir() returns FALSE

Even though you might have permissions to all the folders, the user/account that PHP/web server is running under might not.

I think this is the problem, but the whole example.com folder is owned by the same user/FTP account. I have root access to make changes, but not on root when running the scripts.

So I guess the question is, what changes should I make to allow the scripts the proper premissions to access that folder?
