Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

AFAIK, to get directory listing in windows, you use 'dir' command? :)

correct but dir doesn't work either...I have installed cygwin tools so ls does work on other servers.  There is some unresolved issue with PHP and IIS, like a bad version of php4ts.dll and/or phpisapi.dll

It's something broken in your installation, this works fine for me.

I am glad it works for you, but....is there a fix?
PHP works in all other aspects, but I have found many postings on this subject and no real resolutions...I have uninstalled php and reinstalled it and even went from PHP 4.3.4 to 4.3.3 with no better results.
Is there a fix or a version that does work?

Please don't reopen this anymore, there is NO bug here.
Ask further support questions elsewhere, this bug system is not any discussion forum.
