is_dir reading a folder with a space in the name?

Hi All. I am reading directories and one of the directories has a space in it so when I run: if (is_dir($dir)) it returns false. But I know the folder exists, so is there a way to force the read? Or what else should I do? rename it and then read it? Thanks in advance. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Angelo Zanetti Systems developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Telephone:* +27 (021) 469 1052 *Mobile:* +27 (0) 72 441 3355 *Fax:* +27 (0) 86 681 5885 * Web:* http://www.zlogic.co.za *E-Mail:* angelo@zlogic.co.za <mailto:angelo@zlogic.co.za>
