How to read a list of files from a folder using PHP? [closed]
I want to read a list the names of files in a folder in a web page using php. is there any simple script to acheive it?
The simplest and most fun way (imo) is glob
foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) {
echo $filename."<br />";
}
But the standard way is to use the directory functions.
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
echo "filename: .".$file."<br />";
}
closedir($dh);
}
}
There are also the SPL DirectoryIterator methods. If you are interested
This is what I like to do:
$files = array_values(array_filter(scandir($path), function($file) use ($path) {
return !is_dir($path . '/' . $file);
}));
foreach($files as $file){
echo $file;
}
