[TYPO3-dev] t3lib_div::getFilesInDir

[Stephen Bungert]

I thought I might have to do this,

I mean by "first file" what ever is first in the array that would have 
normally be returned by the function, but insetad of trying to get the other 
file names, it just returns with an array of one file name.
