[SOLVED] Check if array/var is directory or file

[JMair]

Can somebody show me how to check if a variable is a directory or a file?

Thanks!

The PHP documentation team can.

 

is_dir

is_file

is_dir

is_file

 

Thank you for the quick reply. I was playing with that originally, but the is_dir would print out  'bool(true)'

How could I stop this? Can I do something like

 

$isDir = var_dump(is_dir('bogus_dir/abc'));
if ($isDir == "1")
echo "It's a Directory"."<br>";
else echo "It's some kind of file"."<br>";

Maybe you should check out what var_dump does

That's exactly what I needed!
