Reading directory question

[Anon]

I want to read all files from this directory that are .htm and .html. How do I do that? I tried adding an asterix, but that doesn't work.

this is my code

<?php

$listdir = opendir ('/home/readir/');
while ($file = readdir ($listdir))
{
if (preg_match('/.htm$/i', $file))
{
echo "<a href = \"$file\">$file</a>";
print "<br>";
}
}
closedir ($listdir);
?>

[matto]

$dir = "thedirectoryname";

$thisdir = dir($dir);
while($entry = $thisdir->read())
{
if(substr($entry, strlen($entry) - 4) == ".htm" || substr($entry, strlen($entry) - 5) == ".html" )
{
// display }
}

that's my way, quite simple but works. 😉
