Search for file?

[Anon]

Hi
Is there any way to search for a file inside a directory folder if you don't know the file's name, then just output it to the screen? As in, there's 3 files in a directory folder, the program opens all three files and outputs their contents, even though the progrtam doesn't know the files' names.
Thanks

sure...kindof--
You can get the contents of a directory with opendir or readdir
(from manual--directory functions)
<?php
$handle = opendir('.');
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
echo "$file\n";
}
}
closedir($handle);
?>

This will give you the names of the files. Then you can open them in a number of different ways.

Hope this helps
Darren
