I've written a PHP script (which searches a directory for images and displays them) that I want to include in some of my posts . The problem I am facing is that the teaser function won't work when I'm posting in PHP mode. What I would want to do is write some text, put the --break-- tag at the end of the text and then include my script which only should display the images if the user clicks on the "Read more" link.

The --break-- tag works great when I post with Filtered or Full HTML. I've read somewhere that you should print the --break-- tag within your PHP-code but that doesn't seem to work either.

Anyone have an idea to what's wrong?

Well. After looking around a little I found the excerpt module. It works great but I would still want to know more about why the --break-- tag is buggy when posting in PHP mode.

The break tag won't work with PHP code, this is by design.

so only one solution is using excerpt module when using PHP in nodes?

I have the same problem, excerpt module solve this, but I don't think this is the best way.

The point of using the php filter is that there will be no filter. You can always create a new filter for your site that will honor the 'break' tag if you want.
