(BTW '.' and '..' ARE directories). Perhaps I should have been more precise (I'm sure I should have...) When I echo $file, it echos what I would expect (the names of the files and directories. I guess I need to prefix $file in the is_dir statement with the full path to the file? So like this? $maildir=MERCURY."/MAIL"; $handle=opendir($maildir); while ($file = readdir($handle)) { if (is_dir("$maildir/$file") && ($file!=".") && ($file!="..")) { $users[]=$file; } } It seems contrary to what's in the help, but I'll try it out.
