php directoryIterator question - wrong path?

hey guys, what do I misunderstand here?

$dir = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/headers/';
echo $dir;
//ouput: myblog.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/headers



$dir = new DirectoryIterator(get_bloginfo('template_url').'/images/headers/');
echo $dir;
//output: nothing at all! blank page!

the console puts out a fatal_error:

[26-Apr-2011] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'DirectoryIterator::__construct(http://myblog.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/images/headers/) [directoryiterator.--construct]: failed to open dir: not implemented' in /Users/myname/htdocs/myblog.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/inc/header-image.php:3 Stack trace:

5 /Users/myname in /Users/myname/htdocs/myblog.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme/inc/header-image.php

on line 3

any idea what goes wrong here?

I'm pretty sure that the path must be absolute from the document root, not a URL.

Try get_template_directory() instead:

$dir = new DirectoryIterator( get_template_directory() . '/images/headers/');
echo $dir;

Looks like you're passing a URL instead of a path:

DirectoryIterator->__construct('http://oberperf...')

You should pass the full local path name of the directory to the constructor.
