not listing dirs

[801119]

I'm using following code(see bottom) to list directories on my 'puter, but it refuses to print out some of the direcotires, which are only shown when removing "is_dir($path."/".$file)".
Anyone know of this problem? The folders that are not show has proper names, short names too. In one folder the subdirs where shown untill I renamned them (from "dune - forever" to just "forever&quot. I'm using XP and apache 2.0.46 (i think it was) so could it have anything to do with that?

function listdir($path)
{
    $aDir = array();
    if ($handle = opendir($path))
    {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)) && is_dir($path."/".$file))
        {
            if( $file !== "." && $file !== ".." )
                $aDir[count($aDir)] = $file;
        }
    }
    return $aDir;
}

My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

Permissions, maybe?

It's hard to say, you've got so much going on in the while condition clause, it looks like a perl program.

No, I've checked the permissions.. and they all have the same!!

when I changed this part it worked.. wonder why!!

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)) && is_dir($path."/".$file))
{
    if( $file !== "." && $file !== ".." )

New code

while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
{
    if( is_dir($path."/".$file) && $file !== "." && $file !== ".." )

try this:
while((false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) && (is_dir($path."/".$file)))
{
if( ($file !== ".&quot && ($file !== "..&quot )

there are sometimes some problems with brackets due to operator priority. I allways put anything into the brackets in conditions just to be sure...

Oh, I forgot one thing, use:

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

instead of the !== operator (this have little different meaning than nonequivalence !=)
