i'm building a directory browser and while i was looking for info i found this question, to my surprise the code is quite easier than i expected and i'm able to understand it, so i'm using it on my project(i'm quite new to php, and i never use code that i don't understand). It works fine and i've made a few aesthetic changes. Now here comes the problem, for some reason i cannot change the root directory, i have this:
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
header("Location: ./test.php");
}
?>
<!doctype html>

What i'm doing is changing the value of $root, but the result is not what i expected, instead of allow me to browse the contents it stays in root directory even if i click another folder. In some of the tests i've done (with different paths and permissions) sometimes it didn't even show anything.
Can anybody tell me why is this happening AND how to solve this? (Please don't answer with just a solution, i'd like to know what's is what I missunderstood and learn)
