Need opinion about "for" loop, readdir, opendir script

[Volitics]

Does anyone see anything wrong with the theory behind the code below?

I wrote this about a year ago when I was just learning PHP. Actually, I'm still not exactly a seasoned pro. I'm getting ready to include it in a script.

What I'm wondering is about the "for" loop. Typically the folder will have no more than about two files.

Does the "for" loop keep running after the one or two files have been identified? Are there any other problems with the way the script is written that anybody can see?

		$OpenDir = opendir ($DirectoryPathName);
		for ($i = 0; $i < count($DirectoryFile = readdir($OpenDir)); $i++) {
		while (FALSE !== ($Files = readdir($OpenDir))) {
		$FileToRead = $DirectoryPathName."/".$Files;
		if (is_file($FileToRead)){
			echo "the file is here<br>";
			echo "".$FileToRead."<br>";
			}
		}

 	}

Thanks.

The for is completely unecesary and in fact, doesn't do anything. $DirectoryFile = readdir($OpenDir) is an assignment, and assignment can either happen (return true) or fail (return false). So, the condition returns true when the first file is read you then hit the while, all the files are read then the for loop goes for it's second iteration, there are no files left to read so the condition returns false which equates to zero and the for loop fails.

Thanks for the help. I //'ed the for loop and the script worked ok without it.

Thanks again.
