# is_dir

(PHP 3, PHP 4 )

is_dir -- Tells whether the filename is a directory

## Description

bool is_dir ( string filename)

Returns `TRUE` if the filename exists and is a directory. If `filename` is a relative filename, it will be checked relative to the current working directory.

The results of this function are cached. See clearstatcache() for more details.

This function will not work on remote files; the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

See also chdir(), dir, opendir(), is_file() and is_link().
