Third, (not applicable in this case) whenever you list files, and the number of files might in extreme cases be very high, use something else than ls, or you'll fail on an "argument list too long" error.

Considering those:
Code:
for i in "$( ls )"
do
    echo "$i"
done

Pludi is right .

svn_ls - Returns list of directory contents in repository URL, optionally at revision number

SYNOPSIS
array svn_ls (string $repos_url, [int $revision_no = SVN_REVISION_HEAD], [bool $recurse = false], [bool $peg = false]) DESCRIPTION
This function queries the repository URL and returns a list of files and directories, optionally from a specific revision. This is equiva- lent to svn list $repos_url[@$revision_no] Note This function does not work with working copies. $repos_url must be a repository URL. PARAMETERS
o $url - URL of the repository, eg. http://www.example.com/svnroot. To access a local Subversion repository via filesystem, use the file URI scheme, eg. file:///home/user/svn-repos o $revision - Integer revision number to retrieve listing of. When omitted, the HEAD revision is used. o $recurse - Enables recursion. RETURN VALUES
On success, this function returns an array file listing in the format of: [0] => Array ( [created_rev] => integer revision number of last edit [last_author] => string author name of last edit [size] => integer byte file size of file [time] => string date of last edit in form 'M d H:i' or 'M d Y', depending on how old the file is [time_t] => integer unix timestamp of last edit [name] => name of file/directory [type] => type, can be 'file' or 'dir' ) [1] => ... NOTES
Warning This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk. EXAMPLES
Example #1 svn_ls(3) example <?php print_r( svn_ls('http://www.example.com/svnroot/') ); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Array ( [0] => Array ( [created_rev] => 20 [last_author] => Joe [size] => 0 [time] => Apr 02 09:28 [time_t] => 1175520529 [name] => tags [type] => dir ) [1] => Array ( [created_rev] => 23 [last_author] => Bob [size] => 0 [time] => Apr 02 15:15 [time_t] => 1175541322 [name] => trunk [type] => dir ) ) SEE ALSO
