Arrays displaying as "Array" .. ?

d00t

I moved servers just recently and since some of my php scripts have not been functioning as they should. I'm totally stumped as to what the problem could be as they worked perfectly before.

I'm just a tad unsure wheather it's a php, mysql or even an apache problem - although I'm pretty sure its php given the errors.

The errors arn't errors, but the arrays dont output results, but rather "Array, Array, Array, Array...." (ie: it actually says Array!)

Here's the code in question, which has be stumped.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    function getAvailableLangs()
    {
        if($handle = opendir(LANG_PATH)) 
        {
            $files = array();
            while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) 
		 // while($file = readdir($handle))
            {
                if(is_file(LANG_PATH.'/'.$file))
                {
                    $file = str_replace('.php', '', $file);
                    $files[] = $file;
                }
            }

        closedir($handle);
        return $files;
    }
    else
       return array();
}

I don't see it printing anything, but $files is an array, so if you just try and print $files you get "Array".

correct!

I mean..the script looks fine to me, would you put this down to a php compilation issue?

no. i would put it down to a coding issue. can we see the code where you try to echo the value of the array?

ps: why would you have this function return an empty array if it fails to open the directory?
