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.
