Hello,

I'm running php 4.0.5 on my win ME & Win NT 4.0 and I have experienced 2 functions returning the wrong values. I don't know if this bug is allready reported.

the is_dir() allways returns false except for "." && ".."
the filetype() allways returns dir

Please provide a short script so that we can reproduce it.

A little script that should echo alle filetypes of all files in any subdir of the parent provided. 
Now I use opendir to test wether the file is a dir, but this isn't a good solution, is it?

The is_dir() allways returns false
the filetype() allwyas returns dir

<?php

function getFileInfo($parent)
{
	$handle = opendir($parent);
	while ($file = readdir($handle))
	{
		$filelist[]=$file ;

	}
	reset($filelist);
	while(list(,$f)=each ($filelist))
	{
		if ($f!="." && $f!="..")
		{
		if(is_dir($f))
		{
			getFileInfo($f);
		}
		else
		{
                       echo filetype($f);
                }
                }
        }
}

getFileInfo("c:\data\pdf");

?>

this is bogus. you have to either chdir() into the $parent or is_dir() the full path.

Hello,

than the docs in my book are wrong, it says file instead of path. Sorry for wasting your time...

That maybe the case - however this worked in version 4.0.4 but  doesn't from 4.0.6 onwards.  I've just spent all afternoon wondering why my pages don't work in 4.2.1 - going back to 4.0.4 fixed it.  Similarly trying to get the argument passed via a url after the ? worked OK in 4.0.4 but no longer.
