RE: [PHP] Very strange bug. Opendir/Readdir[Scanned]

Matt, I've only just started to have a look at this. Having first tried to see if the code worked outside the class I was receiving the same error message but this might be attributable to line 365 including a reference to $srDirectory rather than $rDirectory. I'll carry on working with it.

Opendir/Readdir[Scanned] Imagine the following: 362>class someClass { 363> function someFunction() { 364> if($rDirectory = opendir("/templates")) { 365> while(false != ($strFile = readdir($srDirectory))) { 366> print $strFile."<br />"; 367> } 368> } 369> } 370>} The class is constructed successfully, the function is called successfuly, the if($rDirectory = opendir("/templates")) statement returns true, and the directory most certainly exists, but as soon as an attempt to read the contents of the directory occurs, the once valid resource ($rDirectory) becomes invalid: Warning: readdir(): 36 is not a valid Directory resource in D:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpSLearningDev\root\components\installer\inc\installer.php on line 365 if the code is removed from both the class and function, it executes fine. I am currently working on a Windows 2003 server (not my choice) and an internal (non network (SMB)) HDD. I can't imagine that simply being inside a class could cause this. Am I missing something!?!?!? I regard myself as a fairly proficient PHP developer, but this one has got a whole dev team stumped. Any thoughts appreciated.
