is_dir(), chdir() trouble...

[WinterDragon]

Lets say I have a function, thats going to list everything in a directory. And say if its a directory or not...

soooo...

function grabDirectory($directory) {
if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 
            if(is_dir($file)) {
                 echo "$file is a directory<br>";
             }
        } 
    }
    closedir($handle); 
}
}

Will not work, nothing is a directory apparently, nothing is returned hehe.. So I put chdir($directory) inside of the function, and then called the function, it still did not work... hrmm how should I go about doing this?

If you add the chdir after the first if statement, it should work...I tried it.

But I prefer this method, which doesn't involve changing directories:

<?
function grabDirectory($directory) {

if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 

    if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { 

        if(is_dir($directory . '/' . $file)) {

             echo "$file is a directory<br>";

         }

    } 

}

closedir($handle); 

}

}

?>

Basically I also pass the directory appended to the filename to is_dir. It works, I tried it.
