This should work for you:

(Here I just use glob() to get all files of the directory and check if it is empty or not. Your method didn't worked, because scandir() also includes . and ..)

public function fileExist()
{
    $open = "../asset/files";

    if ($files = glob($open . "/*")) {
        echo "You got files";
        print_r($files);
    } else {
        echo "You haven't got files";
    }
}
