In that case, ftp_nlist will return false (unreliable result) and ftp_rawlist return Array() which is again unreliable. The best fix would be that ftp_nlist return false when the directory does not exist, and Array() when directory is empty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-10 12:07:43] brain at eucoders dot com It seems that ftp_rawlist has the corrected behaviour and it is returning an empty array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-10 12:06:11] brain at eucoders dot com ftp_nlist returns false on empty directories instead of empty array ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-10 12:04:54] brain at eucoders dot com Description: ------------ ftp_nlist returns false on empty directories ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39458&edit=1
