I need some help with PHP dealing with directory names

Is it possible for me to store the names of directories into a variable. Only directory names, not file names.

Example of what directory looks like:

------------------------
(dir)School
(dir)Music
(file)index.html
(file)Song.mp3
(dir)Videos
-----------------------

Variable should output as: "School Music Videos".

How could I do this?

Code:
<?php
   $dir = opendir("./");
   $a = 1;
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
      if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
         if (is_dir($file)) {
            echo $file.'<br />'
         }
      }
   }
?>
That _should_ work... is_dir() works on a filename and returns true if it is a directory. [url]php.net/is_dir[/url]
Very nice, although I think he wanted something more like this:


Code:
<?php
   $dir = opendir("./");
   $a = 1;
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
      if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
         if (is_dir($file)) {
            echo '(dir) <a href="'.$file'">'.$file.'</a><br />'
         } else {
            echo '(file) <a href="'.$file'">'.$file.'</a><br />'
         }
      }
   }
?>
