    Hi there! Love the plugin, but I’m having a little hangup. I am trying to use a scandir() function and it’s giving me an error. Here’s my code:

    $dir = “../wp-content/uploads/easter_pics”;
    $images = scandir($dir);

    And the error is:

    Warning: scandir(../wp-content/uploads/easter_pics): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/jaspercreel87/public_html/jaellebrain.com/wp-content/plugins/insert-php/insert_php.php(48) : eval()’d code on line 4

    Warning: scandir(): (errno 2): No such file or directory in /home/jaspercreel87/public_html/jaellebrain.com/wp-content/plugins/insert-php/insert_php.php(48) : eval()’d code on line 4

    Is it not possible to escape the plugin folder to follow another path using scandir()?

    I’m uncertain which is the current working directory when the plugin is running.

    Try one dot instead of two at the beginning of the path.
    "./wp_content/uploads/easter_pics"

    If no joy, specify the path with document root.

    "{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/wp_content/uploads/easter_pics"

    Will

    Using one dot worked! Thanks so much. I am new to PHP so not sure why that would make a difference but thanks for the help! Love the plugin, I’ll give it 5 stars.
