dir -- directory class
Description
object dir (string directory)
A pseudo-object oriented mechanism for reading a directory. The given
directory is opened. Two properties are available once the directory has been opened. The
handle property can be used with other directory functions such as
readdir(), rewinddir() and closedir(). The path property is set to path the directory that
was opened. Three methods are available: read, rewind and close.

Example 1. dir() example
$d = dir("/etc");
echo "Handle: ".$d->handle."<br>\n";
echo "Path: ".$d->path."<br>\n";
while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) {
echo $entry."<br>\n";
}
$d->close();

Note: The order in which directory entries are returned by the read method is
system-dependent.
