$dh = opendir( "xxx" );
while( ($file = readdir( $dh )) !== false )
{
  // code
}
closedir( $dh );
rmdir( "xxx" );

---------------
Produces permission denied on WIN NT4.0. Sorry, I did not have time to check it out in new release of PHP (I'm using 4.0.3pl1) or under LINUX.
The workaround I foud out to be working was this (looks like a problem of internal management of handles???):
---------------

$dh = opendir( "xxx" );
while( ($file = readdir( $dh )) !== false )
{
  // code
}
closedir( $dh );
unset( $dh );
rmdir( "xxx" );

Produces permission denied on WIN NT4.0. The command which actually ends up with permission denied is the rmdir() which should delete the directory.

This appears to be a rewinddir() problem afflicting ntfs only (still current in 4.3.0 dev).  Looking into it.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
