But your solution is better, thank you very much Friendly, Laurent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-10 12:29:20] wez@php.net Try while(($fichier=readdir($ptr)) !== false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-10 12:23:21] elixer@php.net The problem is that the function is returning string "0" which gets converted to FALSE which breaks out of the loop. I don't see an easy way to fix this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-10 06:04:13] sander@php.net Reproduced. There is something really strange going on... Anyway, create a file or directory 0 and a couple of other (both numeric and non-numeric) files and/or directories. Sometimes it doesn't display any file starting with a number if there's a file called 0. The 0 never shows up. (tested with a recent 4.2.0-dev) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
