I’ve put together the following script which allows users to view their uploaded images in the original folder structure that they were saved.

UPDATED CODE

        <?php session_start(); 

$_SESSION['username']=$_POST['username'];
$_SESSION['locationid']=$_POST['locationid'];

?>

  if (!is_dir($galleryPath)) { die("No folder exists at $galleryPath!"); }

      </div>
  </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I can correctly show the folders, but when I click on the folder to drill down to the individual images I receive the following error:

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/homepages/2/d333603417/htdocs/development/UploadedFiles/files.xml" in /homepages/2/d333603417/htdocs/development/imagefolders.php on line 25 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/2/d333603417/htdocs/development/imagefolders.php on line 65

Line 25 is this line $descriptions->load($absGalleryPath . '/' . 'files.xml'); and line 65 is this:foreach ($items as $key => $value) {`

My initial script didn’t use session variables and I didn’t have any issues. However I now need to include these, so I’m sure that there is a conflict between these and the foreach command. I’ve done quite a bit of research to see if anyone else has had similar issues, but can’t find anything.

I just wondered whether someone could look at this and let me know where I’m gong wrong.

Many thanks and regards

    Error 1

    Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/homepages/2/d333603417/htdocs/development/UploadedFiles/files.xml"
    

    The Origin of the Problem is $descriptions->load($absGalleryPath . '/' . 'files.xml');

    It is bad practice trying to load file you are not sure it exists or is readable

    Something like this is better and make sure you catch exception

    $file = $absGalleryPath . '/' . 'files.xml' ;
    if(!is_readable($file) || !file_exists($file))
    {
     throw new Exception("Missing XML File");
    }
    

    Error 2

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /homepages/2/d333603417/htdocs/development/imagefolders.php on line 65
    

    A. Since you are not able to load the first xml document … trying to continue the process would result to this error

    B. foreach ($items as $key => $value) { so it would run independently where it is populated or not

    C. Too many Referencing would make your code more difficult to understand and debug …

    Conclusion

    I think you should post the content of files.xml you would be surprised it innovative solutions and ore effective code people would come up with
