When I open a directory I want to check if a handle has been given... Currently I'm using this:

....
if ($handle = opendir('./testmap/'))
{
echo "Please select data file";
while (false !==($file = readdir($handle)))
{
.....
}
}
else {print "Can't open dir";}

can someone tell me why this doesn't work, cause i'm stuck..

I'm not quite sure what your trying to do with this code.. what do you mean to check if a handle has been given?

If you try and open a dir of file, a handle is returned, except when it isn't possible, then false is returned. Normally you'd expect that
if ($handle).

should work.. but it doesn't

does anyone know why?

Try it like this;

PHP Code:

<?php



$directory = "/somedir";



if(is_dir($directory) && ($handle = @opendir($directory)))

{

    // .......

}



else

{

    die('Could not open directory');

}



?>
