That's becasue on IIS the service runs under the IUSR_<machine name> user.
If you are running Apache, it defaults to run under a system account. If
you want IIS to be able to see more folders on the system, give the
IUSR_<machine name> user more rights. If you did something like
if (is_dir('C:\Inetpub\wwwroot'))
echo "It's a folder";
it should work.
