Include JUST files in scandir array?

Question

I have an array I\'m getting back from scandir, but it contains \".\" and \"..\" and I don\'t want it to.

My code:

$indir =

You can use this snippet. It returns just files in directory:

function only_files($dir_element) {
    if (!is_dir($dir_element)) {
        return $dir_element;
    }
}

function givemefiles($dir) {
    $scanned_dir = scandir($dir);
    return array_filter($scanned_dir, "only_files");
}

$dir_path = '../pages';

givemefiles($dir_path);
echo "
";
var_dump($scanned_dir);
echo "
";
