[SOLVED] find files in a directory

[samoht]

Hello,

 

I am wondering how to look for files in a directory with php?

 

I want to be able to loop through a given directory and return the name of all files of a certain type.

I am sure this should be possible - but how??

 

 

Thanks

very cool now how can I push them into and array called $attachments?

 

I have:

 

<?
$f=1;
$fdate = "invoices/*-invoice_".date('m-d-Y').".doc";
foreach (glob("$fdate") as $filename) {
	echo '<input type="hidden" id="att'.$f.'" name="att'.$f.'" value="'.$filename.'"> '. "\n";
	$f++;
}

which works fine for putting the files into hidden inputs - but I need to have them in an array

??

The glob function returns an array. Just do

<?php
$files = glob($fdate);
?>
