[Editor's Note: This is the expected behavior (at least on most Unix-like systems). If a
directory is not executable, then you cannot get details on the files in the directory - this
includes the permissions.
--zak@php.net]
This does not work on directories!
look at this example:
if(is_file("foo/bar"))
print "found it";
if "bar" exists, but directory "foo" is not executable, you will NOT get
"found it" as result.
