How can you read a different folder in PHP?

To read a different folder in PHP, you can use the opendir() function to open the directory, readdir() function to read the contents of the directory, and closedir() function to close the directory handle after reading the contents. 

$directory = "path/to/directory";

$dir_handle = opendir($directory);

if ($dir_handle) {
    while (($file = readdir($dir_handle)) !== false) {
        echo $file . "<br>";
    }
    closedir($dir_handle);
} else {
    echo "Error opening directory";
}
