dir to array?

Not sure why this isn't working, any help is appreciated. I am trying to read the files in a directory and place them into an array. Here is the code: /* Function to create array of directory contents */ function dCNTS($files) { $dir = opendir("/path/to/directory/"); while($imgs = readdir($dir)) { if (($imgs != ".") && ($imgs != "..")) { $cnt[count($imgs)] = $cnt; } else { print "Cannot create array of files in directory!"; } } closedir($dir); }
