note 75620 added to function.scandir

Re: phdwight comments about Japanese. As far as I can see, readdir simply sucks up the byte stream that the OS generates and shots that at the browser. At any rate, it works fine on the PHP4 server I'm using. The key is matching the "Content-type" headers and html / xml "encoding" values to what the OS is generating. This gets more complex if you think of a folder that can be accessed by a samba share. The Japanese files saved from a windows client will be have the file name encoded in ShiftJIS. Any files created locally on the system would be in UTF8 (on a UTF8 system). This results in a jumbled up list of UTF8 and ShiftJIS file names in the same directory. Try displaying that on the one HTML page! It gets messy. The real issue here is that basically any random stream of bytes is a valid file name on a linux box.
