I had a problem using SplFileObject on a windows system running win2k8r2 server and iis. Creating an SplFileObject from a directory results in a 500 internal server error and a "permission denied" in the error log. 

In my oppinion this is not a php error but a difference between directory handling on windows and unix systems.

<?php
$file = new SplFileObject($filename);

if($file->isDir() {
 echo "foo";
}
?>

will not work, but

<?php
if(is_dir($filename)) {
 $file = new SplFileObject($filename);
}
?>

will. --was-- I had a problem using SplFileObject on a windows system running win2k8r2 server and iis.
