xampp - PHP error object not found -

i have created small php file displays name of text files in directory first.txt, second.txt, third.txt. on clicking on of files error "object not found".

this not work:

localhost/applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning/listingfiles/first.txt

but works:

file:///applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning/listingfiles/first.txt

can me understand wrong?

here code:

<?php  $directory = '/applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning/listingfiles';  if ($handle = opendir($directory.'/')){     echo 'looking inside'.$directory.'<br>';      while ($file = readdir($handle)){         if ($file != '.'&&$file != '..'){             echo  '<a href="'.$directory.'/'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a><br>';         }     } } ?> 

following updates of log file

• [thu jul 18 01:06:57 2013] [error] [client ::1] file not exist: /applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp/xamppfiles
• [thu jul 18 01:15:14 2013] [error] [client ::1] file not exist: /applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/applications, referer: localhost/learning/listingfiles/file.php

try using

$dir = "/applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning/"; 

as main path files in it.

this full path or "../learning" should right directory files.

when creating link you'll want use "/learning/" + filename give path file.
