How to check if a folder exists using PHP

I have this code to check if a folder exists using PHP and it works correctly with xampp in windows, but when I try to move that page to a server, it doesn't work.

Here is my code:

  function validate (&$valores, &$errores, $campo, $carpeta)
    {
    $valores [$campo] = $carpeta;
            if ((file_exists($carpeta) && is_dir($carpeta))==false)
            {
                    $errores[$campo] = true;                   
            }
            else
            {
                    $errores[$campo] = false;
            }
    }

There is an alternative to the code that I'm doing?

Solution: I added to PHP open_basedir folders and files I wanted to change, and then with Filezilla I've modified the read / write permission and fixed.

Your code should operate fine on both platforms, so its not this issue.

Usually, such problem due to the naming system. The linux based OS using strict case sensitive naming system.

So try to fix that.

You can use http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.opendir.php and check for false.
