if you have 3 subdirs in the current dir, named 0, 1 and 2, only 1 and 2 would appear, but not 0

$dh = dir("./");
$i=0;
while($fname=readdir($dh)) {
	if ($fname != "." & $fname != "..") {
	    $dirs[$i++] = $fname;
	};
}
$dh->close();

Not really a bug.  Your while loop evaluates to while(0).  If you change it
to this:

  while(strlen(readdir($dh)) 

it should work fine.
