is_dir function

[Creepy123]

How can I check a dir like

http://www.sample.com/cam

with the is_dir function and open it with the opendir function?

I have tried it but it doesn't work.

Do i need to take notice of something when I try to check and open an url.

Thanks!

My code
$handle = @opendir($dir);
while( $file = readdir($handle) ) {
if( is_dir("$dir/$file") )
$folders[] = $file;
elseif( is_file("$dir/$file") )
$files[] = $file;
}
@closedir($handle);

According to the documentation, opendir() doesn't work with the http:// URL wrappers.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php

It works with file:// as of version 4.3.0 and with ftp:// as of version 5.0.0, but that's it.

if u are using linux u can use wget to get check the existence of the file using bash script or there is a windows version of "wget" (i dont know much about the windows version though).
