directory listing failure

Hello; I have a project that is run on a FreeBSD server and I am running into problems I can't figure out with code that is supposed to list directory contents, along with user and wrx and octal file perms for each entry. So, the problem is that a directory listing for a directory below the 'home' directory will only successfully list the following: . .. index.php any directory all other files return errors for function code I have for getting wrx perms. The same is true for results of calls to stat() and other related function code such as fileperms(). index.php IS a file, to why would the other 'files' fail to produce results? Any ideas? Any similar experience and solutions? Ownership issues? (why would index.php go through with the same ownership and perms?) file corruption? inadequate php ini settings? Sample output follows: Sample of home directory listing (default for the user interface display) Owner type and permissions Octal value Name jekftp d : dir | r w x r w x r w x 0777 . jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r - x 0755 .. jekftp - : file | r w x r w x r - - 0774 BTO.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 B_shebangInCShell.txt jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 adminUPLD.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r w - 0646 browserDev.txt jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 clear.php server - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 codeSamples.txt jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 console.php jekftp - : file | r w - r w - r w - 0666 consoleTestGrid.txt server - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 consoleTestGridCopy.txt jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 console_help.php jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r - x 0755 css server - : file | r w - r w - r w - 0666 customSelector.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 dirIndex.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 dirLstDev.php jekftp d : dir | r w x r w x r w x 0777 dist jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 editorComments.txt jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 file_browser.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 file_browserEXP.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 file_browser_old.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 file_editor.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 file_editor_help.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 getServerName.php jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r w - 0646 goForIt.txt ==================================================== directory listing USING THE SAME CODE with errors: Current Directory: dev_lab_current/lab_1 Owner type and permissions Octal value Name jekftp d : dir | r w x r w x r w x 0777 . jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r - x 0755 .. _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: conf_lab_1.php was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 conf_lab_1.php jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r - x 0755 css jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r - x 0755 img jekftp - : file | r w - r - - r - - 0644 index.php jekftp d : dir | r w x r - x r w x 0757 js _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: lab_editor.php was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 lab_editor.php _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: lab_interface.php was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 lab_interface.php _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: lab_reader.php was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 lab_reader.php _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: lab_sampler.php was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 lab_sampler.php jekftp d : dir | r w x r w x r w x 0777 php _CONSOLE -> getWRXPerms error: text was not found, or is not a file or directory 0 text
