Bug description: Flex scanner failed input directory (readdir())
I created a function to get certain filenames (without extensions) from a
specified directory. This function also will work to get all files. The
problem occurs when the readdir() function executes.
ERROR: Fatal error: input in flex scanner failed in
/full/virtual/path/name/html/sub.domain.com/directory on line 1
Here is the function that I use:
function fnfile($dir, $search) {
global $SCRIPT_FILENAME;
$dir = dirname($SCRIPT_FILENAME)."/directory/".$dir."/";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
//it does pass this if statement
$od = opendir($dir);
$filelist = array();
while (($file = readdir($od)) !== false) {
/error occurs above when directory is read (maybe as a file?)
if ($search == substr($file, 0, strpos($file, "."))) {
$filelist = array_merge($filelist, array($dir."/".$file));
}
elseif (($search == "*") AND ($file !== ".") AND ($file !== "..")) {
$filelist = array_merge($filelist, array($dir."/".$file));
}
}
if (count($filelist) == 0) { return false; }
elseif (count($filelist) >= 2) { return $filelist; }
else { return implode("", $filelist); }
closedir($od);
}
}
This happened on two boxes that it was tried on, so it is recursive. The
directory name was changed to see if the problem occured because of the
original (which was 00000), and the problem still occured. These
directories included first letter and last letter strings, but the error
occured yet.
Thanks for your time, hope this can be fixed.
