filemtime() and filesize() php error

I am trying to read all of the contents of a certain directory. I have the function below that loops through the directory and arranges all of the contents. The only problem is that I keep getting the filemtime(): stat failed and filesize(): stat failed for every file and directory. I have tried looking up the solution but none of what I have found has worked. I thought it might be a permission issue but I am able to read and write from the directory I am arranging so that isn't the problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    public function arrangeContents()
    {
        $currDir = opendir($this->path);

        while($entryName = readdir($currDir))
        {
          $this->content[] = $entryName;
        }
        closedir($currDir);

        $this->content_count = count($this->content);

        for($i = 0; $i < $this->getContentCount(); $i++)
        {
            $this->names[] = $this->content[$i];
            $this->name_hrefs[] = $this->content[$i];

            $this->extns[] = $this->findExts($this->content[$i]); 

            $this->file_sizes[] = number_format(filesize($this->content[$i]));

            $this->mod_times[] = date("M j Y g:i A", filemtime($this->content[$i]));
            $this->time_keys[] = date("YmdHis", filemtime($this->content[$i]));

            $this->sortContents($this->content[$i]);
        }
    }

I fixed this issue because I was not preceding the file with the path.

If I just put $this->dir . '/' . $this->content[i] within each of the functions it gave me everything correctly.

You're getting the file path wrong or you don't have permission to stat the relevant file.

  1. For path, try using a DIR constant or $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to work out the full path

  2. For permission, the file be must be readable by the user under which PHP. try testing a folder of files with 777 just to prove permission is the issue.
