Actually...
You need to provide the FULL PATH to filetype, almost for sure:
$dir = "/really/long/path/I/should/have/copied/";
$handle = opendir($dir);
.
.
.
if (filetype("$dir/$file")){
.
.
.
It only works on the cgi/bin directory because that happens to be the
"current working directory" -- the directory you start in.
It probably isn't printing the filenames in the "other" directory -- The
filenames happen to match up, both in cgi/bin and the other directory, for
the files you see...
So the readdir() is giving you the filename in the "other" directory, but
filetype() is looking at the file in cgi/bin and acting on that one.
Any time files in PHP give you trouble, use the FULL PATH to the file.
