Solution 1 for Laravel

    $path = public_path('test');
    $files = File::allFiles($path);

    dd($files);
}

Solution 2 for Laravel

{
    $path = public_path('test');
    $files = File::files($path);

    dd($files);
}

Solution for PHP


public function index()

If you mean the public folder that is not in the STORAGE folder, but, if you want to handle this with Laravel Storage (Laravel Filesystem), You can define this folder as a Disk for filesystem and use it as follow.

In the filesystem config config/filesystems.php, disks part add this code:

'disks' => [

        ...

        'public_site' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => public_path(''),
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

        ...
    ],

And then you can use this commands in your app:

$contents = Storage::get('img/file.jpg');

or to get list of files:

$files = Storage::files('img');

$files = Storage::allFiles('img');

More details about Laravel Storage (Laravel Filesystem) is here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/filesystem

Note : If you changed Public folder you can use base_path() in the Disk definition with relative Path as follow (Otherwise don't use it):

'disks' => [

        ...

        'public_site' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => base_path('../../public'),
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

        ...
    ],

You could do this in one line: 

use File;

$files = File::files(public_path());

// If you would like to retrieve a list of 
// all files within a given directory including all sub-directories    
$files = File::allFiles(public_path());

For more info, check the documentation.

Edit: The documentation is confusing. It seems, you would need to use the File Facade instead. I will investigate a bit more, but it seems to be working now.

Also, the result will be an array of SplFileInfo objects.

Solved! I've used this function and it's work :

// GET PUBLIC FOLDER FILES (NAME)
if ($handle = opendir(public_path('img'))) {

    while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($entry != "." && $entry != "..") {
            echo $entry."<br>"; // NAME OF THE FILE
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

Thanks @MyLibary :)
