    Resolved linux soft link and php directory listing [RESOLVED]

    Hey there,

    I'm using linux (debian distrib), and was wondering on how I could get to identify a soft link directory as a directory (they are recognized as files)

    (talking about the "ln -s" function)

    problem is that all directories are recognized as files using the php is_dir() function...

    help on this would be appreciated!

    thx

    Use the is_link() function to determine whether or not the supplied path is a symbolic link. Then use the readlink() function to resolve the path of the link.
