I've tried all of these:

PHP Code


<?php 
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$dir2 = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
/uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}
./uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}
../uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif} 


What works:

PHP Code


<?php 
$images = glob('../../../../uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE); 


However, I can't use this as the file is used in multiple directories with differing lengths from the root.

I can set it to use the files in the local directory just fine. But I can't get it above the directory. When I do this with $dir it breaks the image and doesn't display "Temporary.jpg" while trying to grab "mysite.com/var/www/html/uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/5th%20Passenger%20(2018)@2x.jpg". $dir2 and everything else shows temporary image and


Specific line i want pointed to '/uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}':

PHP Code


<?php 
$images = glob($dir . "/uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}", GLOB_BRACE); 


Full Code:

PHP Code


<?php
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$temp = '/images/Temporary.jpg';

$movies = glob('./*.{mp4,m4v}', GLOB_BRACE);
$images = glob($dir . "/uploads/Photos/MovieCovers/*.{jpeg,jpg,png,gif}", GLOB_BRACE);
$subtitles = glob('./*.{srt}', GLOB_BRACE); #To be used later.

echo file_get_contents($dir . "/html/header.html");

    foreach ($images as $image) {
        $lookup[pathinfo($image, PATHINFO_FILENAME)] = $image;
    }

    foreach ($movies as $movie) {
        $image = $lookup[pathinfo($movie, PATHINFO_FILENAME)] ?? $temp;
        echo '<a href="' . $movie . '">
                    <img src="' . $image . '" style="width:300px;height:350px;border:0;">
                </a>';
    }
echo file_get_contents($dir . "/html/footer.html");
?>

PHP Code


<?php 
define("ROOT", __DIR__ . "/"); 


Alternatively, you could define this as an environment variable on the machine itself (supposing you have access to do that).  You can then retrieve that during execution via the getenv() function.

PHP Code


<?php 
getenv("ROOT");
