How do I get the contents of a folder?

[Jacob or JaF]

I want to put the contents of a folder into an array.

Say a folder called data has index.php and text.txt in it.
Now I code $files=get_contents_of_folder('data'), and that makes this: $files[0]='index.php' and $files='text.txt'.

Please help.
