Odd, directory read issue...

[iPixel]

Here's my directory read code..

$dir = "renamed/";
$fileCount = 0;


// Open the directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir))
	{
	if ($dh = opendir($dir)) 
		{
			while (false !== ($file = readdir($dh)))
				{
					$fileCount++;
					echo $file . "<BR>";
				}
			closedir($dh);
		}
	}

 

That part works 99%, for some reason the echo $file . "<BR>"; part echos two weird things.

A singe dot and two dots as displayed below.

Any idea where it's getting the  ..    and the    .        from?

[Pikachu2000]

Those represent the current directory, and the directory above the current directory

How can i avoid $file containing such a thing, i want to use those filenames to do other things with them, and clearly a file named ..  and  .  will not be found.

I guess i could just check if $file == "." skip it but i'm just curious if there's a way around this.

 

Thanks!
