Running PHP 5.2.0 on Apache Windows, I had a problem (likely the same one as described by others) where is_dir returned a False for directories with certain permissions even though they were accessible. Strangely, I was able to overcome the problem with a more complete path. For example, this only displays "Works" on subdirectories with particular permissions (in this directory about 1 out of 3): $d = opendir("./albums/mydir"); while(false !== ($f = readdir($d))) { echo "<hr />"; if(is_dir($f)) { echo "<b>Works:" . $f . "</b>"; } } However, this works properly for all directories: $d = opendir("./albums/mydir"); while(false !== ($f = readdir($d))) { echo "<hr />"; $dName = "./albums/mydir/" . $f; if(is_dir($dName)) { echo "<b>Works:" . $dName . "</b>"; } } I don't understand the hit-and-miss of the first code, but maybe the second code can help others having this problem. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 76.168.45.126 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76513 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76513 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76513 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
