PHP Directory listing not working

PHP Directory listing is not working, what am I doing wrong?. There are folders in the movies directory, but they are not showing in my output.

<?php       
    // declare the folder    
    $ourDir = "movies";

    // prepare to read directory contents    
    $ourDirList = @opendir($ourDir);

    // loop through the items    
    while ($ourItem = readdir($ourDirList))    
    {        
       // check if it is a directory    
       if (is_dir($ourItem))    
       {    
          echo $ourItem;   
          echo "<br />";   
       }
    }
closedir($ourDirList);
?>

issue is when you are checking if $ourItem is a folder, you are forgetting is looking in the current directory for the folder.

see below.

// declare the folder    
$ourDir = "movies";

// prepare to read directory contents    
$ourDirList = @opendir($ourDir);

// loop through the items    
while ($ourItem = readdir($ourDirList))    
{        
   // check if it is a directory 
   if (is_dir($ourDir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$ourItem) )    
   {    
      echo $ourItem;   
      echo "<br />";   
   }
}closedir($ourDirList);
