i want to load my files from a directory into an array. my code thus far is
<?php
#set up the array

$dir = "www.sbwelding.com//images/hand/";

$files = array();
$directory = opendir($dir);
while($filename = readdir($directory)){
if(strlen($filename) > 2){
array_push($files, $filename);
}
}

foreach($files as $name)
{
echo "<img src='$name.jpg'> <br>";
}
?>

i get the error:
Warning: opendir(www.sbwelding.com//images/hand/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in C:\serve\www\hand.php on line 12

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in C:\serve\www\hand.php on line 13
i also tried using just /images/hand for a dir and it didnt work

Psst... make sure you have PHP 5, and check this out.

i tested the dir with the is_dir function and it failed, so that means that it is not recognizing it. my only problem is from where the file is that would be the right dir and i also test with the full url and not anything local

You have two forward-strokes in a row in that string:

i have php 5 and i also tried it without the double // which i think it should be.
i get the same error as before with the invalid argument on the line where i have the opendir() function.

Dare I suggest you also check out the forum's rules/FAQ and a "How to Post..." thread, despite the fact they have nothing to do with your problem? Matter of courtesy and community, donchano.

Well, I pointed my browser to http://www.sbwelding.com/images/hand/, and I got this message:

Reckon that has anything to do with it?

i just put the tag
<img src="/images/hand/000_0291.jpd">

Don't use the URL for the directory. Use the path on your server to that dir. For example:
