PHP: FTP directores and files

Hey there

Is there anyway to tell if a "file" is really a file, or if it's a folder. The only way I've been able to do it is if "file" contains a ".", then it's a file, ortherwise it's a folder.

But obviously with files like error_log, this is not very effective.

Any ideas? Thanks heaps

Just re-instating that this is using PHP's ftp functions. is_dir() doesn't work (at least to my experience) while using FTP. is_dir() is used when as apart of the file system functions.

If anyone has found a way to incorporate is_dir() into ftp, then COOL! But I haven't been able too.

And I guess a hack-around for the is_dir thing in ftp is simply to try and change to that directory, and if it fails, it's not a dir

Yeah, its better than my work around though, thats for sure!

Thanks
