Path to a file in a different drive?

Question

My php file is here: D:/Appserv/www/x/y/file.php

I want to load stuff from this folder: E:/foldie

I don't know what path will lead me there.

$somePath="HELP ME HERE!!!!"  
$dir=opendir($somePath);

//looping through filenames
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
    echo "$file\n";
}

Did you try E:/foldie? Because that should work unless there's some kind of permissions preventing it. — Cfreak, Jul 08 '11 at 18:38

Use full Windows path to the file it should be working: "E:\folder\file.txt"

or just copy the file in the local/project directory for testing purpose.

make sure you escape your backslashes in strings (mentioned in Paul's post) – edwardtyl Jul 27 '15 at 13:37

Set $somePath = "e:\\foldie". If that doesn't work, please indicate to us how it fails.
