is_dir($file) does not read as a folder?

[mmccracken]

Beginners basic question : why does line 20 not kick in when I try on subfolders?

 

It correctly reads the top level folders that it's located in, and successfully all subfolder contents, but it fails to recognize subfolders as folders and echo's them as files.

 

<?php

 

function digDeeper($directory)

{

echo " folder : $directory<br />";

if($dh  = opendir($directory))

{

while(($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)

{

if($file != '.' && $file != '..')

{

if(!is_dir($file))

{

echo " - - - - FILE : $file<br />";

if(is_dir($file))

{

echo " ------------------is this a directory? " . $file . "<br />";

}

} else {

echo "this is a folder : " . $file . "<br />";

}

}

}

}

}

 

$folder = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('.');

foreach($folder as $something)

{

if(is_dir($folder))

{

echo $something . "<br />";

digDeeper($folder);

 

}

}

?>

try

if(is_dir(rtrim($directory,'/').'/'.$file))

This might explain my miss understanding of what I'm actually doing wrong. Thanks..
