    Sure.  Change:

        if (is_dir($d) && $d != '.' && $d != '..') {

    To:

        if (is_dir($d) && !preg_match('/[\.\-]/',$d)) {

    Keep in mind, though, that the change will no longer show anything
that matches the below either:

        example.directory
        example-directory
        special-images
        css.files

    In other words, you may instead want to explicitly state which
directories to omit, and then drop anything that begins with a dot as
well (hidden directories on *NIX-like boxes) like so:

<?php
$excludes[] = 'cgi-bin';
$excludes[] = 'vti_cnf';
$excludes[] = 'private';
$excludes[] = 'thumbnail';

$ls = scandir(dirname(__FILE__));
foreach ($ls as $d) {
  if (is_dir($d) && !preg_match('/^\./',basename($d)) &&
!in_array(basename($d),$excludes)) {
      echo '<li><a href="'.$d.'">'.$d.'</a><br/>'.PHP_EOL;
  }
}
?>
