replace 'echo "fail";'
with print_r(error_get_last());

im getting the following output:

•

Array ( [type] => 2 [message] => scandir() [function.scandir]: (errno 25): Inappropriate ioctl for device [file] => /home/worldofp/public_html/try/write.php [line] => 7 )

instead of the list of files and directories.
