Description:
------------
Running is_dir on an array of files returned from scandir, only returns TRUE on the "." and ".." directories.  Actually, is_dir returns nothing on anything except "." and "..".

I notice an extremely old bug #5693 had the same issue.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

function SwitchRC($code)
{
        if ($code == 1)
        {
                return "TRUE";
        } else {
                return "FALSE";
        }
}

$Files = scandir("/");

for ($intC = 0; $intC < count($Files); $intC++)
{
        echo $Files[$intC] . " = " . SwitchRC(is_dir($Files[$intC])) . "\n";
}

?>


Expected result:
----------------
. = TRUE
.. = TRUE
.autofsck = TRUE
bin = TRUE
boot = TRUE
dev = TRUE
endeavour = TRUE
etc = TRUE
home = TRUE
lib = TRUE
lost+found = TRUE
media = TRUE
misc = TRUE
mnt = TRUE
net = TRUE
opt = TRUE
proc = TRUE
root = TRUE
sbin = TRUE
selinux = TRUE
srv = TRUE
sys = TRUE
test_text_file = FALSE
tmp = TRUE
usr = TRUE
var = TRUE

(test_text_file) is a file, everything else is a directory, as shown by the "ls -l /" output:

Actual result:
--------------
. = TRUE
.. = TRUE
.autofsck = FALSE
bin = FALSE
boot = FALSE
dev = FALSE
endeavour = FALSE
etc = FALSE
home = FALSE
lib = FALSE
lost+found = FALSE

You forgot to add "/" to the directory name.
 [2006-06-26 08:41 UTC] andy dot shellam at mailnetwork dot co dot uk
The output is coming directly from scandir, so if a / was needed, surely scandir should add it in for directories?

Also is_dir doesn't actually return false, it just returns Null.
 [2006-06-26 08:52 UTC] tony2001@php.net
http://php.net/scandir - it doesn't add directory to the result filenames, you have to add it yourself.
No bug here.
