filtype() Problems

Hi,

I wrote a simple script utilizing readdir() to read the contents of a directory, then of all subdirectories and thier contents and echo the filenames to the page.

But, here is the problem. I'm also echo'ing filtype() to ensure only files and not the directory names are printed. But I've noticed some of the files are not returning a type.

Has anyone seen this before? Am I just crazy?

Thanks for your help,

Kevin
