Re: PHP4 readdir is_dir working incorrectly?

sort($files_in_scan); print_r($files_in_scan); The above script properly reports that ".", "..", and "images" are drwx[directories] by adding them to the $files_in_scan array. HOWEVER, my problem is that there are other directories.. quite a few actually.. and above script will say, as an example: pdf_directory is not a directory But I know 'pdf_directory' *is* in fact a directory in 'website.com/htdocs'. Is this a problem with PHP4 or have I somehow 'miscoded' what I'm attempting to do? I would do this in PHP5 but the admin won't upgrade, so I am stuck in PHP4 land w/ this project I am on. Thanks for any advise,

You have to either supply the root path to the 'suspected' directory, ie /path/from/root/pdf_dir, or change the working directory. Right now, it's looking in the directory that php is currently working in. -- John C. Nichel ÜberGeek KegWorks.com 716.856.9675 john@kegworks.com
