You need to surround  file   readdir  handle  with parentheses   Here you go    log directory    your dir name here     results array   array     if  is dir  log directory             if   handle   opendir  log directory                               Notice the parentheses I added                  while   file   readdir  handle       FALSE                                             results array      file                                    closedir  handle                  Output findings foreach  results array as  value        echo  value     lt br   gt

Don t bother with open readdir and use glob instead   foreach glob  log directory         as  file

On some OS you get      and  DS Store  Well we can t use them so let s us hide them   First start get all information about the files  using scandir       Folder where you want to get all files names from  dir    uploads        Hide this     hideName   array            DS Store            Sort in ascending order - this is default  files   scandir  dir      While this to there no more files are    foreach  files as  filename        if  in array  filename   hideName              echo the name of the files           echo   filename lt br gt

As the accepted answer has two important shortfalls  I m posting the improved answer for those new comers who are looking for a correct answer   foreach  array filter glob   Path To       is file   as  file           Do something with  file      Filtering the globe function results with is file is necessary  because it might return some directories as well  Not all files have a   in their names  so     pattern sucks in general

You could just try the scandir Path  function  it is fast and easy to implement   Syntax    files   scandir  somePath      This Function returns a list of file into an Array   to view the result  you can try   var dump  files     Or   foreach  files as  file     echo  file   lt  br gt
