Hello php developers: I am having a problem with the following code: OS: FreeBSD v6.0 Apache 1.3.34 php 5.1.2 -> $cont is an array produced from opening and reading a directory: for($i = 0; $i < count($cont); $i++)

I'd be guessing it's a path issue. Try prefixing the is_dir and is_file calls with the path to the directory they are in: $basedir = '/whatever'; for($i = 0; $i < count($cont); $i++) { $fullpath = $basedir . '/' . $cont[$i]; if (is_file($fullpath)) { ..... } -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/

Ok, I hope I can get this to work. The code I copied here was code that was in the directory reading loop, where I would have guess that it would have the path info, but it did the same thing. But I will take you suggestion. Thanks for the reply; JK
