You should probably use the "... or die" idiom, in case the opendir
fails, much as you would with open.
while($fn = readdir(DS))
{
if ( -d $fn)
The most common error when combining readdir() and the -x family of
filetests is here: The filetests are given a simple filename, so
they're looking in the current working directory, but the readdir() is
reading a directory handle which may be open on an arbitrary
directory. The result is that you're asking whether the current
directory has a directory with the name of an item from another
directory.
only . and .. are identified as directories, the other subfolders are not.
Check.
Hope this helps!
