You may not be using the function correctly. From the manual...

'"' (double quote) becomes '"' when ENT_NOQUOTES is not set ... If
ENT_QUOTES is set, both single and double quotes are translated and if
ENT_NOQUOTES is set neither single nor double quotes are translated.

The following code works for me:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
echo '<ul>';
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
echo '<li>' . htmlspecialchars($file) . '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
closedir($handle);
}
?>
