note 52036 added to class.dir

The documentation here is rather confusing, at least to me. My initial understanding was that 'dir' was a class and that objects should be created in the normal way ($d = new dir("path")). Apparently this isn't the case though. As the example shows, dir() is a normal function that returns an object of type Directory. The description of dir() could be a little clearer about this. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dir.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52036 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52036&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52036&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52036&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52036&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52036&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52036&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
