Why is the Scandir() function not working?

I am getting the following php warning when using the scandir() function :

Scandir failed to open dir: opration not permitted in public_html/page2.php on line 3

page2.php

 <?Php
 $folder="/";
 $result=scandir($folder);
 print_r($result);

I want to use this function to print the files and sub directories of my root folder but it's not working.

Does someone know how to fix it?

Because you're trying to scan a directory that you don't have permissions to do (in this case the root directory /).

Either change the permissions, or scan a directory you do have permissions for.

This may either be on a directory permissions basis, or using the open_basedir directive.
