the \ has to be slashed

Ah great, thanks! that fixes most of the errors. The following runs where I define the $dirstr in the function but if I try to define it in the page that calls the function, it still gives

Parse error, unexpected T_INCLUDE in [#call]


#call $dirstr= ".//" this is where I want to define the directory include 'scandir.php'; scandir('$dirstr');



#function
  function scandir($dirstr) {
     $files = array();
     #$dirstr=".//";
     $fh = opendir($dirstr);
     while (false !== ($filename = readdir($fh))) {
         array_push($files, $filename);
     }
     closedir($fh);
     return $files;
  }


PS I'm on my windows apache server but the forward slash seems to work in php & that keeps it portable. I tried it both ways.
