Is it possible that the statement while (false !== ($file=readdir($dir)))
should be more clearly stated as: while (! $file=readdir($dir))

You mean to say that your script works fine if the folder's persmissions are set to 777 and does not work when the permissions are 755. This is the normal behaviour of PHP installed as a apache module. PHP can only write to or delete folders to which it has the write permissions. That is, 777.
