is_dir not working

is_dir failing to identify directories on windows

[cybersphere]

I'm running PHP5 with Apache on Windows XP SP2.

I ran a quick test of the is_dir function, and it is incorrectly returning false when I ask it to identify a directory.

Are there any known issues with my config and is_dir? Any known workarounds?

Hi cybersphere,

You can also use the file_exists [php.net] function to check if a directory exists. Not sure why is_dir is failing. Are you sure your path is correct?

maybe take a look through the comments on this page

[php.net...]

some talk about some issues and there may be a workaround ion there somewhere

Thanks for the responses.

I am running an old version of PHP5 (5.01), which may have something to do with it.

I will see if upgrading to the latest version makes any difference.
