Accessing a external folder

This doesn’t seem to work when i have something like this

$data = “./data-new-data”;
$dir = scandir($data);

it doesnt find the folder specified, (code 2)

why on earth can’t i get it to work , even if i change to absolute path c:\data-new-data

what am doing incorrectly , ? the browser rendering engine is set to accept external paths from the settings universalURL this is driving me nuts

If you actually have a folder called “data-new-data” and is placed in same folder as your compiled exe, try this:

$data = $storagelocation.'data-new-data';

At the top of your php file containing your code, place this:
Working with external folders is a hit and miss experience for me. What works one time does not work the next and takes a lot of head banging on my desk

Hope this helps. If not maybe one of the EXEout admins or gurus can help…

Are you trying to scan an existing folder or a folder compiled in your application (virtual then)?
