Does ! work as an operator to check whether handles are null or not, especially file handles ?

[parth_patel]

Check this code. Should it work in php?

$handle = opendir($SourceURL);
if ( !$handle )
{
closedir($handle);
return FALSE;
}
/// Doing some work with $handle

Thanks, Parth

This suggestion sounds silly but Im posting it anyway. Dont you want an If/Else control instead of just an If. And also can you be more specific on whats going wrong?

This was in the PHP documentation[^].

if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
...
closedir($dh);
}
}

If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.
