Question

how to rad the names of all files saved in the folder on the server using php. and then make a call to that php page using ajax to display that list of files

Answer 1

This is the code to display file list:

$dir   = '/tmp'; // your directory path
$files = scandir($dir);

foreach ($files as $file)
{
  if (is_file($file))
  {
    echo $file . '
';
  }
}

This is the HTML/JavaScript to display the file list (if you use jQuery which is highly advised):
