is_dir problem

[bart]

i run 4.3.4

but is_dir doesn't work always.

when i put a counter in a readdir loop, it returns the number 5

that is;

..
...
test1
test2
test3

those are testdirectorys, but when i do a is_dir on the test directory it
doesn't return true!

is this just a bug in 4.3.4 ?

do i need to compile a new version or is there another directory check
function?

I'm also using PHP 4.3.4 and is_dir() works fine here.
Maybe the bug is in your code?

Can't say based on the lack of information you've posted. It's far, far more
likely that there's a bug in your code, rather than a simple function like
is_dir(), used by thousands of people, returns the wrong results. Maybe there
is a bug in is_dir(), it's not impossible, but I'd bet the problem lies
elsewhere.

Show your code.
Show a short runnable testcase.
Show some proof that the names above actually are directories.
etc.

*sigh* Another newbie blaming PHP for his own bug... You probably didn't
append the parent path to the parameter to is_dir(). readdir() doesn't
return the full path, just the name of the folder. Use glob() instead, it's
easier to use.
