Simply use is_dir:
$dir_handle = opendir('.') or die($php_errormsg);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_dir($file)) {
$files[] = $file;
}
} sort($files);
closedir($dir_handle);
Just remember if your initial directory is not '.', but e.g. 'files', you
would have to add the path to the is_dir check. Best to do this with a
constant:
define('INITIAL_DIR', 'files');
$dir_handle = opendir(INITIAL_DIR) or die($php_errormsg);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_dir(INITIAL_DIR . '/' . $file)) {
$files[] = $file;
}
} sort($files);
closedir($dir_handle);
