is_dir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) is false - why??

ppowell

<?
  echo is_dir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . " for dir = " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
?>

Produces

for dir = C:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs

Why is it in Windows that this occurs? What can I do to circumvent this?

Thanx

Works OK for me (after I removed the ")" right before your closing ";").

Result:

1 for dir = C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs

I'm afraid your setup and mine are very different. I'm not using XAMPP, whereas I am using Apache 1.33, PHP 5.2.0 and Windows XP.

echo is_dir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . ' for dir = ' . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "<P>";

Produces

for dir = c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs

XAMPP is just a package for installing Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Perl at one time. I'm running PHP 5.1.4 via Apache 2.2.2 on WinXP-Home. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that would cause the difference you're seeing (at least none that makes any logical sense to me). 🙁

Likewise; works for me w/ Apache 2.0.49 (own installer) and PHP 5.2.0 (extracted zip file). Oh, and XP SP2.

Does it say the wrong thing for other directories/non-directories?
