How do i create an array name $ files and read the names files in the directory ?

What's missing for the lines below to be able to create an array named $files and read the names of the files in a directory example.

First try : $files = scandir('example'); second try : $files = array(scandir('/example'));

index.php 
<?php
//add code here
$files = scandir("/path/to/example");

Hey Tefo,

You're so close, just diff dir

 <?php
//add code here
$files = scandir("example");
