directory_map() not working outside of application

[eluser]iamdadude[/eluser]
Is there a reason as to why

Code:

$map = directory_map('./', TRUE);

works perfectly and,

Code:

$map = directory_map('../', TRUE);

doesn't work at all? I tried creating a directory with the basic mkdir(); PHP function (http://php.net/mkdir) and it didn't work either. Can anyone set me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix it?

Thanks!

How are your directory permissions set?

[eluser]iamdadude[/eluser]
All of them have read access enabled

[eluser]Clooner[/eluser]
If you only have readaccess then for sure mndir won't work.

For the directory mapper try

Code:

$map = directory_map(real_path('../'), TRUE);

For the permissions make sure you have them at 0444 or higher.

[eluser]iamdadude[/eluser]
They're at 0755 and what you just posted still doesn't work. This is upsetting.

[eluser]Clooner[/eluser]
try

Code:

$canopen = opendir(realpath('../'));
die($canopen);

what is the result?

[eluser]iamdadude[/eluser]
It's blank. I made sure that there's nothing else that could be throwing off a PHP error, and it still showed blank.

Here's what I have in the controller -

Code:

function create_path() {
            
            $canopen = opendir(realpath('../'));
            die($canopen);
                        
        }

If it doesn't return anything or false it means it can't open the directory.
