How can PHP be used to retrieve and display directory paths for file selection in a more user-friendly manner?

When retrieving directory paths for file selection in PHP, you can use the `scandir()` function to list all files and directories within a specific directory. To make the display more user-friendly, you can iterate through the list of directories and display them as clickable links for the user to navigate easily.

<?php
$directory = "path/to/directory";

$files = scandir($directory);

foreach ($files as $file) {
    if (is_dir($directory . '/' . $file) && $file != '.' && $file != '..') {
        echo '<a href="?dir=' . $file . '">' . $file . '</a><br>';
    }
}
?>
