Weird DirectoryIterator behaviour

[guillermobytes]

Hello,

can someone make light on this please :

i have a path to a dir:

$path = "/var/www/Tests";
echo $path;

the output is :

/var/www/Tests

when i create a new DirectoryIterat or like this :

$dirIt = new DirectoryIterator($path);

and ask php if it is a directory, it says its not!

if (!$dirIt->isDir()) {
    echo "This is not a directory!";
}

the output is :

This is not a directory!

and

print_r($dirIt);

output is a FILE!!

DirectoryIterator Object
(
    [pathName:SplFileInfo:private] => /var/www/Tests/enginecartelmania.php
    [fileName:SplFileInfo:private] => enginecartelmania.php
    [glob:DirectoryIterator:private] => 
    [subPathName:RecursiveDirectoryIterator:private] => 
)

can someone make sense to this?

thanks for your help

Sorry, I was very tired... The answer is that DirectoryIterat or iterates through the directory contents. So when i ask if the current element in DirectoryIterat or is a directory, except when the directory iterator is pointing at the . and .. directories, the answer will allways be no!
The right way to do this is to call is_dir($path)
sorry for stupid post
