Bash Script - Compare Directory Name to String

I'm using this script to run a command within each subdirectory in the 'sites' directory, EXCLUDING the 'all' subdirectory. However, when I run this, the 'all' subdirectory is still being used, even though I use an if statement to exclude it. 

for dir in ~/htdocs/drupal/drupal/sites/*
  do
  if [ $dir = "/local/users/drupadm/htdocs/drupal/drupal/all" ]
    then
    continue
  fi
echo $dir
(cd $dir && /opt/webstack/php/5.2/bin/php /local/users/drupadm/drush/drush.php $1)
done

Hi you need to do the following

if [ $dir == "/local/users/drupadm/htdocs/drupal/drupal/all" ]

Thanks

IFS=$'\n'
for dir in `find ~/htdocs/drupal/drupal/sites/ -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name all -printf '%p\n'`
do
    echo $dir
    (cd $dir && /opt/webstack/php/5.2/bin/php /local/users/drupadm/drush/drush.php $1)
done
IFS=' '

Exclude that directory in the first place, use find!

It's invoked by 

find dir_name [tests...]

Tests used by my command:

-maxdepth 1

Of immediate children...

-type d

... find directories ...

! -name all

... Not named 'all'.

Try quoting the $dir, you will fine directories with spaces in their names kill you. You may also run scripts with -vx switches on the invocation to see what's read in and what's executed. bash -vx my script or set -vx whatever.

You left out the sites sub-directory:

if [ "$dir" = /local/users/drupadm/htdocs/drupal/drupal/sites/all ]
