does anyone know how to get images from joomla using php?

[divinedesigns1]

i am trying to grab certain images from joomla, which is place in there own folders, but when i try to get

failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /xxxxx/xxxxxx/xx/xxxxxxx/html/Ej/test.php on line 10

but the folder is actually there.

i am using this code to grab the images from the folder, which i have tested it within a normal folder

$handle = opendir(dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) . '/images/');while($file = readdir($handle)){	if($file !== '.' && $file !== '..'){		echo '<img src="images/' . $file . '" border="0">';	}}

It sounds like you're trying to open the path to a file, not a directory.

 

Did you try echoing out all the variables that make up $handle to see if you're opening the correct directory?

 

echo "file => " . __FILE__; echo "realpath => " . realpath(__FILE__)); echo "dirname => " . dirname(realpath(__FILE__); echo "all together now " => . dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) . "/images/";

 

Also, I'm not sure what distinction you make between this and "normal" folders. Is there a difference aside from the content? As far as I know, directories just hold files and folders and that's pretty standard across all machines I've worked on.
