How to convert below result into array? I want to make an array so I can assign to variable and use it

if($handle = opendir($path)){
    while(false != ($filename = readdir($handle))) {
        if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
            $name = preg_replace("/\\.[^.\\s]{3,4}$/", "", $filename);
            $name = str_replace('_', ' ', $name);
            $name = ucwords($name);
                echo $name;
        }           
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

Simply add the names to an array....

$files = array();
if($handle = opendir($path)){
    while(false != ($filename = readdir($handle))) {
        if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
            $name = preg_replace("/\\.[^.\\s]{3,4}$/", "", $filename);
            $name = str_replace('_', ' ', $name);
            $name = ucwords($name);
            $files[] = $name;
        }           
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
