I quite recently learned that glob() is the way to do this. The function will find pathnames matching a pattern (according to the manual) and works perfectly as a replacement for opendir() and all those functions.

PHP Code:


			
<?php



// Turn on error reporting

ini_set( 'display_errors', 'yes' );



// Set path to our directory (for easier use)

// Remember the last slash (/)!

$directory_path = 'your/folder/';



// Return .png files found in the directory

foreach( glob( $directory_path . '{ *.file1, *.file2, *.file3 }', GLOB_BRACE ) as $file )

{

    // Put some file data in variables

    $name = basename( $file );

    $size = filesize( $file );

    $file = implode( file( $file ) );

    

    // Do your thing, for example add the info to an array

    // or output it directly

    // $files[]  = array( 'name' => $name, 'size' => $size, 'content' => $file );

}

    

?>
