The goal is to read a list of files in a directory into an array and sort them. The following code snip returns different results between Netscape and IE.

### snip ############################
$handle=opendir($root.$dir);
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
  $retVal[count($retVal)] = $file;
}
closedir($handle);
sort($retVal);
### snip ############################

Neither browser gets an error, but in IE the array contains all of the files and directories, in Netscape only the directories are in the array (no files).

Env:
Linux 2.2.15
Apache 1.3.12
PHP 4.0.0 (MySQL, TrackVars)

PHP is not dependant on the browser, it's server-side program.
Please provide more info on what you are doing (parameters, etc.)

I've received email about this and I AM aware that PHP is server-side, that is why I filed the bug, this should not happen. Maybe it has something to do with the way Apache handles the connection? KeepAlives? The page renders quickly in both browsers so I don't think it's a time issue.

It is kind of weird that your clients behave differently.
In any case, can you please try and use the latest CVS version or latest snapshot (snaps.php.net)and see if you're still have the same problem. There was a bug fixed which had to do with readdir but I doubt this is the problem it fixed.
