W2K + ISS + "openDir()"
i had the same problem with "openDir()" with W2K and ISS.
In attributes of the directory you want to open in the field "security
adjustments" (sorry, im trying to translate it from German) there is a
checkbox "take inheritable superior authorizations" (it is also a
attempt to translate german text). I set this attribute and "openDir()"
works fine.

I changed the permissions in my inetpub directory to full access for
the IUSR account (which I assume IIS uses for php to do file
operations). Ofcourse full access is a bit much but, it works ;)
I'm not sure if this is the place for codes but figured I'd post my
recursive files/directory reader function I wrote based on tons of
"whatever is this supposed to work?" codes on the php.net pages. Tried
to add a comment there but all I got was a "phpschool.com" page not
found error... so, if it's any useful, here it goes.. it's very basic
and just gives a nice output of my full inetpub dir.
<?php
rec_readdir("e:\inetpub\wwwroot");
function rec_readdir($dirname)
{
if ($dir = opendir($dirname))
{
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir)))
{
if (($file !=='.') && ($file!=='..') && ($file !== $dirname))
{
$checkdirname = $dirname."\\".$file;
if(is_dir($checkdirname))
{
echo "<BLOCKQUOTE>\n";
echo "<B>recdir: $checkdirname</B><BR>\n";
rec_readdir($checkdirname);
echo "</BLOCKQUOTE>\n";
}
else
{
echo "$dirname\<I>$file</I><BR>\n";
}
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
}
?>

Just noticed the topic is closed but...
It indeed is a security issue. On my server (win2k) I get the same
error as the original author who has this problem. When using IIS
(which I think he is), the IUSR_GUEST (wrong spelling but check your
security rights on a directory it's something like that) needs read
permissions on a folder for php to be allowed to access it. It's weird
though that php generates this weird error rather than say "permission
denied" which I would find a lot more obvious.. but then again, who
would run IIS and php right?
When using my C:/inetpub/wwwroot as folder, the opendir works just fine
and that has IUSR_guest access...
just fool around with those permissions and I'm sure you'll get it to
work.

I ran into something similar with trying to OpenDir to a mapped network
drive.
Variable Define:
$logpath = "s:\dir\System\";
Use it:
$handle=opendir($logpath);
Error:
Warning: OpenDir: Invalid argument (errno 22) in logs.php on line 45
