PHP Scandir returns extra periods

Question

So I am trying to build a script that scans a directory and returns random images to be used as backgrounds.

The php looks like this:

$dir = \"views         


        

Answer 1

$dh = opendir("c:\");
while (false !== ($filename = readdir($dh))) {
    if ($filename != '.' && $filename != '..')    
       $files[] = $filename;
}
