Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php
---
This line in the example:
  echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";

should be:
  echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . "/" . $file) . "\n";



Test script:
---------------
1. copy-and-paste the example as shown - it will generate lstat errors
2. change the echo line as above, and it works.

The example works fine... $dir has a trailing slash in the example... when you 
copied and pasted the example, did you modify the value of $dir? Did you include 
a trailing slash like in the example?
