script only loops once, doesn't filter for no files

[JRough]

There is a problem on this script. If there are no files in the dir
then I get an error. That is why the if
size of ($FILES)>0) test ***** It should sort and do the for each
loop but it ignores that test. I also have the if($claim_file) test
and that doesn't work either. Should I try if is empty($claim_fi le)?
This code also runs through the loop only once even if there are more
than one claim files. Is that because the for each does not need the
while (!feof($clm_fil e)) since it would stop at the last processed
file?

thanks,

##try{

$dir = "../clm_stuff/";
$archive_dir = "../clm_test/";
$bad_dir = "../clm_bad/";

# FOR EACH FILE IN A GIVEN DIRECTORY:

$dir_handle = opendir($dir);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_ha ndle))) {
# OPEN FILE
if(($file!='.') &&($file!='..') &&($file!='.ftp quota')){
$FILES[] = $file;
}
}
#closedir($dir_ handle);

if(sizeof($FILE S)>0){ ***********
sort($FILES);

foreach($FILES as $file){
$clm_file = fopen($dir.$fil e, "r");
print $file."<BR>";

if $clm_file { ****
# FOR EACH LINE:
while (!feof($clm_fil e)) {
# PARSE ACCORDING TO COMMA DELIMITED
Some code that works here!
}

}
}
}
}

if you got no files in your directory the variable $FILES is not
definded at all. so you would have to use isset() to check it. But the
better solution would be to add an $FILES = array(); after creating
the dirhandle

}

Use print_r($FILES) at this point and see what's in the array.
