Get the Files inside a directory

Is there a function that can be used to get the contents of a directory (a photo gallery directory for example)?

I’m trying to save time on a project by automating a photo gallery based on which files are available.

You can either use the DirectoryIterator:

$dir = new DirectoryIterator('path/to/images');
foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
    echo $fileinfo->getFilename() . "\n";
}

or alternatively glob():

$filenames = glob('path/to/images/*.jpg');
foreach ($filenames as $filename) {
    echo $filename ."\n";
}
