echo "\$dirName is $dirName<br>\n";

}
</code>

output:
$dirName is mswbt_A6565897X3B91B
$FullDirname is /var/www/V3.46-pre03/source/mswbt_A6565897X3B91B
/var/www/V3.46-pre03/source/mswbt_A6565897X3B91B is not a directory


this clearly shows that the directory is there
$ ls -als /var/www/V3.46-pre03/source/
insgesamt 16
4 drwxrwsrwx  4 www-data www-data 4096 2008-07-07 16:17 .
4 drwxr-xr-x 14 root     root     4096 2008-07-07 16:19 ..
4 drwxr-sr-x  5 www-data www-data 4096 2008-07-07 16:17
mswbt_A6565897X3B91B


Msg to [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Please do not try to run this code on your machine. You will most
probably *not* have this directory structure and the is_dir() function
call would succeed on your machine as returning FALSE would be correct
then!

I hope this can help a bit to solve the problem.

I having the same problem.

OS: FreeBSD 6.2
PHP: 5.1.2
Server: Apache 2.2

Mount a windows share.
Run the following on the windows share:

$d = dir("Path/to/windows/share");
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
   echo "Entry: $entry<br>\n";
   var_dump(is_dir($entry));
   echo "<br>";
}

All sub-directories on the windows share return:

Entry: Sub_Dir_1
bool(false)
Entry: Sub_Dir_2
bool(false)

The problem seems affecting only the temporary directory's
subdirectories; please fix this bug because it is causing a lot of weird
effects on scripts which verify paths existance and eventually create
them.

I am using PHP 5.2.0 and running this script:
<?php
// bug #39198 testcase, see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39198
// @author legolas558

if ( !function_exists('sys_get_temp_dir') ) {
    // Based on http://www.phpit.net/
    // article/creating-zip-tar-archives-dynamically-php/2/
    function sys_get_temp_dir() {
        // Try to get from environment variable
        if ( !empty($_ENV['TMP']) )
            return realpath( $_ENV['TMP'] );
        else if ( !empty($_ENV['TMPDIR']) )
            return realpath( $_ENV['TMPDIR'] );
        else if ( !empty($_ENV['TEMP']) )
            return realpath( $_ENV['TEMP'] );
        // Detect by creating a temporary file
        else {
            // Try to use system's temporary directory
            // as random name shouldn't exist
            $temp_file = tempnam( md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)), '' );
            if ($temp_file) {
                $d_temp = realpath( dirname($temp_file) );
                unlink( $temp_file );
                return $d_temp;
            } else
                return FALSE;
        }
    }
}

$d_temp= sys_get_temp_dir();

if ($d_temp===false)
        die('Cannot retrieve temporary path');

$d_temp = str_replace('\\','/', $d_temp);

if ($d_temp[strlen($d_temp)-1]!='/')
        $d_temp .= '/';

// now $d_temp contains a correctly formatted path e.g.
C:/Windows/TEMP/

$my_temp_subdir = $d_temp.'39198_exists';

if (@rmdir($my_temp_subdir))
        echo "I just removed a previous <strong>$my_temp_subdir</strong>
folder, now ";

// create a directory under the temporary path
if (!mkdir($my_temp_subdir))
        die("I could not create <strong>$my_temp_subdir</strong>");
else
        echo "<strong>$my_temp_subdir</strong> was created ";

// use here temp_is_dir() to see how the script should work instead
$b = is_dir($my_temp_subdir);

if (!$b)
        echo "but the folder is not a dir (through is_dir())!";
else
        echo "and is recognized as a dir (through is_dir())";

// workaround function
function temp_is_dir($dir) {
        // check directory existance under temp folder (tested on Windows)
        // see bug #31918 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39198
        // by legolas558
        if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]($dir))
                return true;
        rmdir($dir);
        return false;
}

?>
I get this talkative output:
[code]
C:/WINDOWS/Temp/39198_exists was created but the folder is not a dir
(through is_dir())!
[/code]

But the correct talkative output would be instead:
[code]
C:/WINDOWS/Temp/39198_exists was created and is recognized as a dir
(through is_dir())
[/code]

Note that using the workaround function "temp_is_dir()" in place of
"is_dir()" the correct output would be returned instead. Please ask me
more if necessary.

Surely you can. 
Just create all the required directories in the script itself, don't
left us guessing which directories exist and which don't.

I don't have your directory structure either so I can't adapt the
script for your machine.

The Temp directory will be there in a standard installation of Windows.
You then search and replace in my script to adapt to your environment.
Finally you create one directory RP_Compile and give Everyone full
rights on that directory.

It shouldn't take more than five minutes for anyone who knows how to
log in to Windows.
