[snip] I'm attempting to read a list of files in a directory using readdir() but am having problems with mpeg files not seemingly being read. Cope snippet: $count = 0; while (false !== ($file = readdir($open_dir))) { if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') { if (file_exists("$VID_DIR/$file")) { $count++; $count counts any 'avi' files but not 'mpg' files. [/snip] Without seeing the rest of the code I am going to assume that $open_dir is the handle for the directory the files are in. Given that, why would you specify a directory in your file_exists function? I am unsure why file_exists would be necessary at this point.
