What do you get from this?
[PHP]filetype($entry )[/PHP]

You might try something similar to this:

 
function fileordir($what)
{
  if(is_file($what)) return 'file';
  else if(is_dir($what)) return 'dir';
  else return 'nothing';
}

dear motoma ,

now i am using following code ......


[PHP]

$file=$path."\h tml\\";
$d = dir($file);
echo $file."<br/>";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
echo $entry;
$typ = is_dir($entry);
echo $typ;
if($typ){
print '<li>[d]:'.$entry.'</li>';
}else if(!$typ){
$topic=explode( ".",$entry) ;
// $tname=$topic." .html";
if($topic[0] <> "") {
print '<li><input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="'.$topic[0].'"><a href="edit.php? f='.$topic[0].'">'.$topic[0].'</a></li>';
}
}else{
echo "unknown";
}
}
$d->close();

?>

[/PHP]


but in this case its print single dot and double dot directory and
if html folder having some directory then its print as a file
is_dir function not checking properly .....
now what i am do ?

I believe:
$file=$path."\h tml\\";
is an error.

I think it should be:
$file=$path."\\ html\\";
