Reading directory names w/ scandir

[lockdownd7]

I need the scandir() function to return an array that includes actual directory names, instead of something like '.' or '..' .  What would be the best way to do that?

scandir() will still return . and ..

but if you need it, then use it

though a better alternative might be glob()

if you are looking for an array of ONLY dir names, excluding . and .. then glob will indeed work for you:

 

$dirs = glob('*',GLOB_ONLYDIR);
