[RESOLVED] Check if object in directory is file or folder?

[TitanKing]

Thanks for looking at my thread,

Using PHP, I want to check if a object in a directory is a file or folder like:

filetype();

Above function works, however I think filetype needs to be installed optionally?

Regards,
Jason

Why not just loop the directory and use [man]is_file[/man] and [man]is_dir[/man]?

Thanks,

The odd thing is, is_dir returns true on files as well.

I have no idea why though.

According to the manual, it is part of the standard installation as of PHP4. It doesn't support URL wrappers until PHP5 though.

This might help you http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php#72427

If not, check out some of the other problems in the comments and see if you can find a resolution. Otherwise, I'd wait for Weedpacket, Brad, Laserlight or one of the other really smart people to read this thread.

Ouch my bad,

is_dir, is_file

does work, you just need to provide true directory (/var/www/this_dir).

Thanks again,
