Ready for copy and paste function for common use cases, improved/extended version of one answer above:
function getDirContents[string $dir, int $onlyFiles = 0, string $excludeRegex = '~/\.git/~', int $maxDepth = -1]: array {
$results = [];
$scanAll = scandir[$dir];
sort[$scanAll];
$scanDirs = []; $scanFiles = [];
foreach[$scanAll as $fName]{
if [$fName === '.' || $fName === '..'] { continue; }
$fPath = str_replace[DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '/', realpath[$dir . '/' . $fName]];
if [strlen[$excludeRegex] > 0 && preg_match[$excludeRegex, $fPath . [is_dir[$fPath] ? '/' : '']]] { continue; }
if [is_dir[$fPath]] {
$scanDirs[] = $fPath;
} elseif [$onlyFiles >= 0] {
$scanFiles[] = $fPath;
}
}
foreach [$scanDirs as $pDir] {
if [$onlyFiles
