based off your logic, I think I fixed your problem.

don't forget about http://us3.php.net/break

// Get a directory resource handler
if ($handle = opendir('./bp_csv/')) {

// Looping...
while ( $file = readdir($handle) ) {

// This checks to see if it is a file. Not a symlink, dir, socket, etc...
// Your is_dir() test would have failed if it had come across a socket
if ( is_file($file) ) {

// Mind you that I have not used the escapeshell***() commands
// that much. You might need to drop the escapeshellcmd(), since
// you are creating the command inline, and you have already escaped
// the input data with escapeshellarg()

// Be sure to validate input
$user = escapeshellarg(@$_POST[userid]);

// Be sure to escape the command also
$command = escapeshellcmd("grep \"{$user}\" ./bp_csv/{$file}");

// Run command and capture results
$userinfo = exec($command);

// Check to see if I got any results
// Might want to do a little better result checking.
// This would pass even if the command failes and hands back an error
if ( ! empty($userinfo) ) {

// ok, found the person, run the function
userprofile($userinfo);

// Exit while loop
break;
}
}
}
}
// Nothing was returned for any of the files that we found.
if ( empty($userinfo) ) {
echo "$user not found in any BP_CSV files, now running LDAP check<BR>";
ldap_check($user);
}
