# filepro

(PHP 4, PHP 5 <= 5.1.6)

filepro — Read and verify the map file

### Description

bool filepro ( string `$directory` )

This reads and verifies the map file, storing the field count and info.

No locking is done, so you should avoid modifying your filePro database while it may be opened in PHP.

> Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed.

### Parameters

`directory`

  The map directory.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.
