Re: Getting directory contests using DIR

The idea is to speed it up, when e.g. as now, reading that 126 times,
it becomes slow.
The idea is to create this file, and check the time for it. When it is
"new", I can use it for checking whether certain files are presnt, and
run the dir only once.
It is much faster to read in a txt file than running the opendir
request again.

Current I run it 126 with the present values - orders. They might
change, but since a large amount of those are similar, they might be in
the same places.

Anyway, I found that a small test programme with this works, while a my
current software does not like it, and stops at that point.

Hi all

I was wondering to try something like this:

exec("dir \"".$sSearchPath."\\*.pdf\" >c:\hhh.txt");

though, it hangs at that point. I tried system(), shell_exec/() etc
similar result.

Have anyone tried this?
