$directory = "/your_dir/examples/";

if ($dh = opendir($directory)) {
        // go through each file in the directory
        while (($filename = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
            // open individual file and print its contents
            print file_get_contents($filename);
        }
        closedir($dh);
    }

$dh is just the data handle. You don't have to worry about its value. It's automatically set when you run the open_dir($directory).
