<?php
foreach (glob("*.html") as $filename) {
    echo $filename;
}
?>

How can i get this to list files in another directory?

Specify the path in the arguments to the glob call. Read the manual?

[Tom8001]

It doesn't say anything about specifying the path in the manual for this function.

[Ch0cu3r]

It mentions it in the first sentence

 

The glob() function searches for all the pathnames matching pattern

The filepath is the pattern.

Reading is a real talent. Here's what one would read as soon as they referenced the manual:

 

glob — Find pathnames matching a pattern


Description 

array glob ( string $pattern [, int $flags = 0 ] )

The glob() function searches for all the pathnames matching pattern according to the rules used by the libc glob() function, which is similar to the rules used by common shells. 

Also - if you scrolled down thru the examples you would find #6 from Alan.... that describes a pretty nifty function he wrote to do what you are possibly looking to do.

 

 

No charge for the research.

<?php

$source_folder = "archive";

if( !is_dir( $source_folder ) ) {
        die ( "Invalid directory.\n\n" );
}

glob($source_folder, "*.html");

?>

Warning: glob() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given

[Ch0cu3r]

First append the your folder name with a forward slash,  $source_folder = "archive/";

 

Second use the concatenation operator (period . )  not a comma between  $source_folder  and  "*.html"  

glob($source_folder. "*.html");

Thanks, i got rid of the error but it's not listing any files.

[Ch0cu3r]

Calling glob on its own wont do any thing. You need the foreach loop like you had in post #3

Thanks everyone for helping me i appreciate it it's working now
