I think this will help all of you out there that are having problems with is_dir() returning false
on known directories.
I viewed the above posting about the relative and absolute paths causing problems and I tried his
solution to no avail. I am using a hosting service and probably don't have the access
necessary for his solution to work.
Alternatively I discovered a solution on my own and it seems to work oodles better:
**Simply use chdir() first to switch to the dir you want to read. Then use $var=
opendir("."):
ex:
chdir('../photos');
$dirvar= opendir(".");
//so far so good anyhow
