Problems with PHP file functions... (many problems)

Here's my code:

Code:

<html>
        <head>
                <title>Dir Test</title>
        </head>
        <body>
                <p>
                        <?
                        $dir    = 'test';
                        $pages = scandir($dir, 1);
                        ?>

                        <table>

                        <!-- Headers -->
                        <tr><td><b>Name</b></td><td><b>Type</b></td><td><b>Link</b></td><td><b>is_file</b></td></tr>

                        <?
                        for ($i = 0; $i <= sizeof($pages)-3; $i++)
                        {
                                $name = substr($pages[$i], 0, strrpos($pages[$i], "."));
                                $type = substr($pages[$i], strrpos($pages[$i], ".")+1);
                                $link = "<a href=/php/view-text.php?section=".$_GET['section']."&page=".$name.">".$name."</a>";
                                $type = var_dump(is_file($pages[$i]));
                                echo    "<tr><td>".$name."</td>".
                                        "<td>".$type."</td>".
                                        "<td>".$link."</td>".
                                        "<td>".$type;?></td></tr><?
                        }
                        ?>

                        </table>
                </p>
        </body>
</html>

My problem is that no matter what I do:

1. The is_file always returns false, even though I know that those are files, and that they exist. Even though the scandir thinks they are!!

2. When I print the result from var_dump(is_file()), it prints outside of the table (above it in a end-to-end list, as a matter of fact), no matter if I do an "echo $type.</td></tr>" or have it outside the php "echo $type;?></td></tr><?". If I remove the </td></tr> stuff, then I get them inside the table, but they're shifted up one cell....

I'm probably just missing something silly though...

Since the files are in the directory test, you probably need to tell php to look in that directory before doing the is_file test, try:

$type = var_dump(is_file($dir."/".$pages[$i]));
