if eregi within foreach

[cjhoward]

The following code will list all files in a remote directory. I have a remote directory consisting of jpg and txt files. But I need to list only the txt files.

I tried adding:

if(eregi('.txt', $file)){
echo "<br>$file";
}

within foreach, but it wouldn't work.

<?php

$ftp_server = 'ftp.server.net'; 
$ftp_user_name = 'user'; 
$ftp_user_pass = 'pass'; 

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// get contents of the current directory
$file_list = ftp_nlist($conn_id, "");
foreach ($file_list as $file)
{
echo "<br>$file";
}


// close the connection
if ($conn_id) {
   ftp_close($conn_id);
}
?>

first of all, you shouldn't be using eregi if you're not checking with a regular expression, you should be using strstr, i.e:

foreach ($list as $file)
{
    if (strstr($file, '.txt') !== false)
    {
        echo '<br />'.$file;
    }
}
