if ($handle = opendir('C:\gyb')) {
while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && is_file($entry)) {
echo "$entry<br />";
$filesarray[] = $entry;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
print_r($filesarray);

'
if ($handle = opendir('C:\gyb\')) {
if ($handle = opendir('C:\gyb')) {
if ($handle = opendir('C:/gyb')) {
if ($handle = opendir('C:/gyb/')) {
parse error with the

if ($handle = opendir('C:\gyb\')) {

<?php
$filesarray = array();
if(!is_readable('C:/gyb'))
{
echo "You don't have enough permissions to access this folder!";
die();
}
if ($handle = opendir('C:/gyb/')) {
echo "Opened the folder successfully!<br>\n";
while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
if ($entry != "." && $entry != ".." && is_file($entry)) {
echo "$entry<br />";
$filesarray[] = $entry;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
else
{
echo "There was an error opening the folder!";
die();

print_r($filesarray);
