. and .. appearing instead of pictures

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

First of all, thanks very much for providing this forum. It is very much appreciated!

My son-in-law created a php script for my website about 10 years ago to show pictures like a manual slideshow, and it worked fine until we moved to a new server.

Now the first pic shows a . , the second shows .. , and the third shows the first pic.

He told me to add a # before @files in the

#remove the .. and . directories

and it should remove the dots but it does not. He can't think of any other suggestions. The full code is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl

#this script will act as a type of slide show

use CGI;

if(CGI::param('directory') eq undef) {
print CGI::header();

open(F, "pictures.txt");
chop(@directories = <F>);
close(F);
foreach (@directories) {
my($pDirectory, $title) = split(/::/);
my($hrefTitle) = $title;
$pDirectory = $pDirectory;

#remove the spaces
$pDirectory =~ s/ /%20/g;
$hrefTitle =~ s/ /%20/g;

print "     <A HREF="/cgi-bin/pics.pl?directory=$pDirectory&title=$hrefTitle">$title</A> ";
}
} else {
#variables
my($serverRoot) = "/home/ma3ry/christiangays.com";
my($directory) = "/" . CGI::param('directory');
my($i) = 0;
my($max) = 0;
my(@files) = ();

$i = CGI::param('picNum') unless(CGI::param('picNum') == undef);

#open the directory
if(opendir(DIR, "$serverRoot/$directory")) {

#read in the contents of the directory
my(@files) = readdir(DIR);

#remove the .. and . directories
#@files = splice(@files, 2);

#sort the files
@files = sort(@files);

#find out how many pics there are
my($max) = @files *1;

#build the page
&createPage($directory, $files[$i], $i, $max, CGI::param('directory'), CGI::param('title'));

#close the directory
closedir(DIR);

} else {
#directory is not found
print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print "Couldn't open directory $directory!nn";
}
}

exit(0);

sub createPage {
my($directory) = shift;
my($picName) = shift;
my($i) = shift;
my($max) = shift;
my($hrefDirectory) = shift;
my($title) = shift;
my($j) = $i - 1;
$i++;
