Regarding the warning:
This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to
FALSE.
Of course, this means that if you use:
<?php
if($entry = readdir($handle) == false) â¦
?>
or
<?php
while($entry = readdir($handle)) â¦
?>
you may get a false false, as it were.
As far as I can tell, the only time this would actually occur is if you encounter an entry of 0.
According to
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php#language.types.boolean.casting
this appears to be the only string which will evaluate to false.
