The following code:

print_r(scandir("."));
Resulted in this output:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided getcwd() and scandir(".") example on Windows 11 with PHP 8.0.12, using the reported R:\dreamflame.in path. Compare the current-directory and directory-listing behavior with a normal directory; done means scandir(".") lists the expected contents without warnings.
