Use opendir() to get a handle to the topmost directory.

Then loop through all the items (files or directories) in that directory using readdir().

To test if a directory entry is itself a directory, use is_dir()

Output to the web.

To add to what sleipnir said, you could recursively call a function (but you might want to put a limit on the number of iterations - just as a rule). Every time is_dir() returns true, call the function from within itself. That way, you can create a table each time and indent inside the cell of the parent table to mimic a tree structure.

This is obviously a simple implementation, but it works.
