Call to member non object, help please

[askeli]

I am using a script that lists the contents of a directory etc, this works fine on one server (uk) but on another server (us) i get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in .... line 44

Line44 =

while($file=$d->read()){

The relevant code is:

/* If you're including this script from a function, you'll need
to make $SCRIPT_FILENAME a global variable. */

if (!$SCRIPT_FILENAME)
global $SCRIPT_FILENAME;

// We'll have to loop through all the files in the current directory
$d = dir(dirname($SCRIPT_FILENAME));
while($file=$d->read()){

any ideas suggestions appreciated

many Thanks

Askeli,

Basically, what this means, is that $d is not an object. Since dir() should create a pseudo-object, I would guess that means that the directory read failed.

Is there a chance that the path in $SCRIPT_FILENAME is not valid?

Note also that the manual [php.net] does the condition checking in the while loop as follows

while (false!== ($entry = $d->read()))

for reasons explained there

Tom
