Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.readdir
---

The readdir function returns both files and folders in a directory, but the 
documentation only mentions readdir returning filenames.

Documentation should be changed to acknowledge that readdir will also return 
directories.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
