You don't think it's odd that the function that checks to see if a directory exists
returns a warning on what it's supposed to be doing??
Earlier versions of PHP did not do this, and to me that makes it a 'bug'. While yes, it
can be suppressed, it should be functional in the same way previous versions of PHP worked. This in
no way is a 'feature' of the function.

Warnings can be supressed by setting error_reporting correctly.
Not a bug.

In PHP 4.1 RC3 (non CVS release), the is_dir() function causes a warning that says "stat failed
on /your/path" if the path does not exist.
This was causing havok with scripts of mine that relied on no output for errors.. Of course I just
suppressed the message, but it really shouldnt be there. The function is designed to check for an
existing dir, it should work without warnings!
Hopefully this can be fixed in the next release.
On a side note, PHP 4.1 (CVS version) does not install under FreeBSD 4.3. However the version
available at http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz
does work!
Thanks guys.....
