find all executable file at provided directory in php

want to get all executable file at provided directory in php.
using PHP for some local system. where i want to keep track of all files for particular directory.
so if i provide directory path than it should be give how many number of file is executable on that directory .

so i start to write code with scandir


$dir    = '/softwares';
$files1 = scandir($dir);
count($files1); 

count function give me count of all files not only count of executable files, so scandir not really scan the directory .
suppose is that possible i can put scandir(".exe,.sh") something like that so it can give me scanned result where only provided extension's file contained in list
or scandir("executable") give me only executable files . is that possible to use scandir like this? or any other solution to get executable files for given directory ?

testing with wamp .

 $root="D:\software";
foreach (new DirectoryIterator($root) as $fileInfo) {
    if($fileInfo->isExecutable()) {
    echo $fileInfo->getFilename() . "<br>\n";
}
	}

testing at window will result
it give you all .exe files , not .dll , .php or .so or not .bat file

it means only find exe files not dll , php or so(linux) and .bat(batch file) .
