Using the glob() Function

 
<?php
     $directories = glob("/tmp/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR);
     $complete = glob("/tmp/*");
     $files = array_diff($directories, $complete);
     echo "Directories in /tmp/<BR>";
     foreach($directories as $val) {
          echo "$val<BR>\n";
     }
     echo "<BR>Files in /tmp/<BR>";
     foreach($files as $val) {
          echo "$val<BR>\n";
     }
