Hello Guys!
I'm making an audio player using html and javascript.
I have problem with searching for music files.
I don't know how to get all files from dir /songs/ and put them into var songs.

I get this error wich says that variable songs is undefined:
exp-1.10-vPlayer.js:18 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
at playSong (exp-1.10-vPlayer.js:18)
at playOrPauseSong (exp-1.10-vPlayer.js:39)
at HTMLButtonElement.onclick ((index):13)

What I have tried:

My code:

PHP

echo '<script> var songs; </script>';
$spath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$spath .= "/vas/beta/audio-player/songs/";
$fileList = glob('{$spath}*.mp3');

foreach($fileList as $filename){
    echo '<script> songs.push("', $filename, '"); </script>';
}

Which is line 18?

Line 18 is just call to songs:

function playSong(){

alert(songs[0]);
...

Well variable songs is not defined at that point, so you need to trace back through the code to find out why.

Ok.
I found out what was wrong. I corrected my php and js code and now it works perfect!

PHP

echo '<script>';
echo "\r\n";
echo 'var songs = [];';
echo "\r\n";
$spath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$spath .= "/vas/beta/audio-player/songs/";
$files = scandir($spath);
foreach($files as $file) {
   if($file != '.' && $file != '..'){
      echo 'songs.push("/vas/beta/audio-player/songs/', $file, '");';
      echo "\r\n";
   };
}

echo '</script>';
echo "\r\n";
