scandir will list files and dir in an array; in aditions, you can use readdir and opendir to list depends on your coding

on the other hand, if you just simply want to list content in browser for users to see, just simply take out index file

If you want to do that in a recursive way with PHP5 you could use the SPL classes:
http://php.net/manual/en/recursivedirectoryiterator.construct.php

<?php
 
$directory = '/tmp';
 
$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory));
 
while($it->valid()) {
 
    if (!$it->isDot()) {
        echo 'SubPathName: ' . $it->getSubPathName() . "\n";
        echo 'SubPath:     ' . $it->getSubPath() . "\n";
        echo 'Key:         ' . $it->key() . "\n\n";
    }
 
    $it->next();
}
 
?>

<?php

$it = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory));
 
while($it->valid()) {
 
    if (!$it->isDot()) {
        echo 'SubPathName: ' . $it->getSubPathName() . "\n";
        echo 'SubPath:     ' . $it->getSubPath() . "\n";
        echo 'Key:         ' . $it->key() . "\n\n";

The filename from a plain string containing the full path?
This will do the basename() function:
