First of all, you should search the forums on the subject of pagination (which is what you're after). There are a couple of threads linked in this forum's FAQ.

Most of those (though not all) threads use a database, but that is a separate issue from the pagination itself. Once you've read the directory listing into the array, and you know which page you're supposed to be displaying, you can skip over the array entries that belong on previous pages, and then display the appropriate number of entries on the current page.
