List all folders on my computer (php)

Question

I want to browse all folders on my computer without using opendir(), in PHP.

Answer 1

The result will be a very ugly combination of glob() and stat(). Is there some reason you can't work with opendir() and friends?

Edit:

If PHP does not have suitable permissions to access everything you want to see, using another function is not going to help.

What (exactly) are you trying to do?
