#25846 [Bgs->Opn]: is_dir() does not work on any folder other than the current directory

ID: 25846 User updated by: notepad at codewalkers dot com Reported By: notepad at codewalkers dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: winXP PHP Version: 4.3.4RC1 New Comment: the code above DOES concatentate the directory name to the filename Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-12 19:47:54] wez@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php readdir() returns only the basename of the filenames, not the full path. You need to manually concatentate the directory name to the filename. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-12 18:49:20] notepad at codewalkers dot com Description: ------------ say you have the folder "test" and inside "test" you have: - images (folder) - the_following_code.php (file) inside the "images" folder you have some sub directories. the_following_code will NEVER return true. if i use !is_dir instead, it then returns the sub directories as files instead of folders. this appears to have been an ongoing problem, perhaps overlooked or under-explained. Reproduce code: --------------- function directory($dir) { $mydir = opendir($dir); while(false !== ($file = readdir($mydir))) { if($file != "." && $file != "..") { if(is_dir($file)) echo "$file<br>\r\n"; elseif(is_dir($mydir.$file)) echo "$file<br>\r\n"; elseif(is_dir($mydir.$file.'/')) echo "$file<br>\r\n"; } } closedir($mydir); } $path = '/inetpub/wwwroot/Scripts/test/images/'; directory($path); Expected result: ---------------- i expect a list of sub dirs.. Actual result: -------------- i get nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25846&edit=1
