Contents of a DIR into an array?

[MattC]

In PHP3 how can I get the listings of a dir into an array?

I know it has something to do with readdir() and such, I just can't get the looping to work right.

Thanks,

<?
$asdf = dir("whatever")
$ar = array();

while($file = readdir($asdf))
{
$ar[count($ar)-1] = $file;
}

?>

that should do the trick

Not to show you up, Vinay, but here's a slightly simpler version that works exactly the same. Could be faster for large directories.

<?
$asdf = dir("whatever");
$ar = array();
while($file = readdir($asdf))
{
$ar[] = $file;
}
?>
