Check for existing directory

[TheDigglerUK]

Hi, this a sort of follow on from an earlier post. I am trying to check if a folder/directrory exists without having to place anything in it.

I can check by check for a file in the directory but i have to place it there on creation which seem a little silly.

Any help would be great

There are actually many ways to do it as long as you are absolutely sure you have write permission to the directory.

one example is using http://www.php.net/rename

if its successful means the dir exist, else no. simple enough.

of course after renaming, u will have to rename to the original file name
