Strangely, when I tried 'C:\dir\subdir'; (single quotes and backslashes)
is_dir() returned false!!!
I did not understand, but using single quotes(') and double backslashes (\\)
it works fine.
And also passing the dir string by POST don't work. You may have to use the
addslashes() function.

Assunto: RE: problem to open dir
Definitely use the is_dir() function as Rafael suggests. Also, make sure
that the user that PHP will be running as has permissions to read from that
location. I had some troubles a while back reading, writing and deleting
from some locations that the user IIS was running as did not have the proper
permissions in that location.
So if is_dir() returns true for you but you're still having those issues,
try explicitly adding the user that apache is running as to that directory
with some good permissions.
Oh - and about the slashes, only use the \\ when you're using double quotes
and only use \ with single quotes. Double quotes tells PHP to try to
evaulate the contents of the string (replace varables with their value,
interperate \[character] with their proper escaped value, etc.) while single
quotes tells PHP that "treat this value as exactly what's entered - don't
try to evaulate anything".
