best way to get files in a certain directory

[jalbey]

Ok here is what I am doing; I am taking an array of file types (i.e. extensions, .cs, .txt, .doc etc) then searching for those files in a declared directory. I want to find those file types in the directory then display them in HTML. My question is what is the best way to accomplish this.

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere before.

Thanks,
CJ

Ok, here's the code that I used when I wrote this. It should do just what you need.

$filetypes = array("cs","txt","doc");
$dir = "YOUR_DIR_HERE";
$handle = opendir($dir);
while (($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) 
{
  $extension = pathinfo($file);
  $num_elements = count($filetypes);
  for($i = 0; $i < $num_elements; $i++)
  {
    if($extension['extension'] == $filetypes[$i]) 
    { 
      echo $file."<BR>";
    }
  }
}
closedir($handle);
