note 70005 added to function.is-dir

The function is_dir will always return false if the handle acquired with opendir is not from the current working directory (getcwd); exception applies to "." and "..". Thus, if you need a consistent dir listing from any directory other than the current one, you must change dir first. Example follows: <?php chdir( '..' ); $rep=opendir('.'); while (false != ($file = readdir($rep))){ if (is_dir($file)){ print("<a href='$file/' class='text1'>$file</a>"); } } ?> The above code will list all directories (with links) for the ".." directory, relative to the current working dir. THE WRONG WAY TO DO IT FOLLOWS: <?php $rep=opendir('..'); while (false != ($file = readdir($rep))){ //print "$file is here (may be a dir or not)<br>"; if (is_dir($file)){ print "<a href='$file/' class='text1'>$file</a><br>"; } } ?> This code will turn into an empty list. If you want to make sure, uncomment the commented line...
