By the way, the way you are looping over the directory is bad. You should be using:

code:

---

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) !== false) {

---

---

while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) !== false)
Two '(' were and and then you close 3? Mind explaining why? And also what would !== false do ?

But that error is nothing todo with your script, you can ignore it.

You mean to say that my code has no mistakes ?

It should be:

code:

---

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

---

as shown on the php.net page both the correct and wrong ways, http://uk2.php.net/readdir .

Try yours, place a file called "0" in the directory along with some others and watch yours exit on that.

0 is essentially false when doing standard == checking so you need to compare at the actual level which is ===. In that case, 0 != false, 0 = 0.
