note 73728 added to function.readdir

When I place my .php file in a folder on the root directory this works, but if I place it in the root directory it starts randomly adding '._' to the files in the array. Does anyone have any idea whatsoever why this might occur? function makeArray($Directory){ $myArray = array(); if ($handle=opendir($Directory)){ while (false!==($myFile = readdir($handle))){ if ($myFile!="." && $myFile!=".." && $myFile =".DS_Store"){ array_push($myArray,basename("$myFile")); } } closedir($handle); } return $myArray; } ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.16.4.31 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73728 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73728 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73728 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
