New Comment:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that when looping through, '.' and '..' are
recognized as directories with filetype() and is_dir(), but the
directories I created are not.

Description:
------------
PHP fails to recognize directories when looping through a directory.
filetype() says lstat() fails, and is_dir() returns false.
I have the following directory structure.
/
/themes/
/themes/crap/
/themes/default/
Using this simple script to loop through the themes directory and get
directory names:
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
//gather available themes
function get_available_themes()
{
if($handle = @opendir('themes'))
{
$themes = array();
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
if(is_dir($file) && ($file != '.' && $file != '..'))
{
$themes[] = $file;
}
}
if(empty($themes))
{
return false;
}
} else
{
return false;
}
return $themes;
}
if($themes = get_available_themes())
{
echo '<pre>';
print_r(get_available_themes());
echo '</pre>';
} else
{
echo 'No themes could be found.';
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[0] => crap,
[1] => default
)
Actual result:
--------------
The function returns false because the array actually contains:
Array
(
)
If I echo out $file during the while() loop, I see
.
..
crap
default
