This function w'd be enough for file list. Just make an ajax call to it, json_encode to output before send back to javascript

function scan($dir)
    {
        $output = array();
        $handle = opendir($dir);

        if ($handle != false) {
            while ($file = readdir($handle)) {
                if ($file == '.' || $file == '..')
                    continue;

                $path = $dir . '/' . $file;

                if (is_dir($path))
                    $output += scan($path);
                else
                    $output[] = $path;
            }
        }

        return $output;
    }

İf you want to add folders to array too, just change the if statement like;

if (is_dir($path))
    $output += scan($path);

$output[] = $path;

Also you can use RecursiveDirectoryIterator class too: stackoverflow

UPDATE

Just erase the "else" keyword if you want to add folders too in output.

If you call function like;

scan('/root/');

The output will give you results like;

'/root/First_Folder/First_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file2'

But if u erase "else" keyword, you will get results like;

'/root/First_Folder',
'/root/First_Folder/First_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file1',
'/root/Second_Folder/Second_Folder_file2'
