I do a lot of file parsing and have found the following technique extremely useful: while (false !== ($document = readdir($my_dir))) { $ext=explode('.',$document); if($document != '.' && $document != '..' && $ext[1]) { 'Do something to file...' } } It gets around the fact that, when working on website pages, the html files are read as directories when downloaded. It also allows you to extend the usefulness of the above method by adding the ability to determine file types e.g. if($document != '.' && $document != '..' && $ext[1]=='htm') or if($document != '.' && $document != '..' && $ext[1]=='doc') -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-file.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29392 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29392 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29392
