Have a look at the opendir function in the manual.
Or if you are on a unix host do

$dirstr = shell_exec( 'ls' );
$dir = explode( '\n',$dirstr );

That explode hasn't worked with me, have to have double quotes "" so \n is interpreted correctly

try

$dirstr = shell_exec( 'ls' );
$dir = explode( "\n",$dirstr );

instead of
$dirstr = shell_exec( 'ls' );
$dir = explode( '\n',$dirstr );

Sorry 🙁

<?php

$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
        array_push($files,$file);
    }
}

print_r($files);

?>
