[SOLVED] Is this the right way of going about it

[madspof]

i have writting this bit of code but it does'nt seem to work correctly could some one give me some hints on what is going wrong

madspof thnks

$dir = "/madspof";
if (is_dir('$dir')) {
   echo "Found that directory <BR>";

echo "Did not find that directory <BR>";
}
echo "$dir";

Try using:

<?php
$dir = "madspof/";
if (is_dir('$dir')){
  echo "Found that directory!";
}
else {
echo "Did not find the directory" . $dir . "";
}
?>

 

Exact same for is_file() command

<?php
$dir = "madspof/";
if (is_dir('$dir')){
echo "Found that directory!";
}
else {
echo "Did not find the directory" . $dir . "";
}
?>

Variables are not interpolated within single quotes.

 

<?php

$dir = "/madspof";
if (is_dir($dir)) {
 echo "Found that directory <BR>";
} else {
 echo "Did not find that directory <BR>";
}
echo $dir;

?>
