Collecting file information from Linux sever

[127.0.0.1]

Hi,

I need some help here please, what should happen is that when this script is started it should check a specific folder on a Linux server probably using exec( ls – l )the results should be returned in an array, and if there are any files on the server it should check if the file name already exist (from the previous time it ran ) if not it should it should post a ticket (already got that code sorted)

Any help would be appreciated thanx.

exec is messy, take a look at scan_dir()

[127.0.0.1]

I thought of that as well but unfortunately the server is still running PHP 4, there is talk of upgrading it to PHP 5 but not any time soon. Thanks anyway

readdir()
is available in php 4
