Problem with Filesystem Functions

I hope this isn't too basic of a question . . .

I'm having a problem with the Filesystem Functions, I think.
Specifically, I'm recursing through a directory, and have this code:

$size = filesize($file);
$type = filetype($file);
$date = filemtime($file);

I'm getting these warnings:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for
AudioJungle.jpg in C:\wamp\www\file_explorer\index.php on line 33
Warning: filetype() [function.filetype]: Lstat failed for
AudioJungle.jpg in C:\wamp\www\file_explorer\index.php on line 34
Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: stat failed for
AudioJungle.jpg in C:\wamp\www\file_explorer\index.php on line 35

These warning display for every file in the directory; however . and
... have no trouble. I've googled around and searched for probably
45min without coming up with a solution. Any help would be
appreciated!

TIA!

Two things spring to mind. Firstly, what size are your files? I had
problems reading info on files over 3GB on a 32-bit PHP install, as
there's a problem with the number storage that leaves all the values
read as 0.

Second thing, are the values you're passing to these functions what you
think they are? While the directory browsing functions might be
functioning from a relative pointer, the calls to filesize() etc might
need values relative to the PHP script itself, or failing that, absolute
path values.

Thanks,

Thanks, Ashley! Turns out, the relative paths were wrong; changing
$file to $dir . '/' . $file worked fine.
