    Paths in linux?

    I have a page for downloading some files that are outside of my webroot. The download menu is built from the directory structure. On my windows development machine, i referenced the root of the directory as c:/apache/yada/yada and it knew where to start looking for it.

    So on unix, I'm calling the build menu function with an opendir(/home/username/folder) but it's looking in the folder where I called it from. How do I tell it to look in the right place?

    Thanks.

    I'm really an idiot. Sorry guys.

    I didn't know linux handles folders in a case sensitive manner. Problem resolved.
