Answer 1

<?php
$dir = "/etc/php5/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
            echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";
        }
        closedir($dh);
    }
}
?>

Extending this logic,

<?php
$dir = "/etc/php5/";

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir)) {
    if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
        while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
            if(filetype($dir . $file) == 'dir') {
                echo "filename: $file : filetype: " . filetype($dir . $file) . "\n";
            }
        }
        closedir($dh);
    }
}
?>

should echo all directories

The output on my local server is:

filename: . : filetype: dir
filename: .. : filetype: dir
filename: apache : filetype: dir
filename: etc : filetype: dir
filename: pranav : filetype: dir
