Best way to get files from a dir filtered by certain extension in php [duplicate]

by

PHP has a great function to help you capture only the files you need. Its called glob()

glob – Find pathnames matching a pattern

Returns an array containing the matched files/directories, an empty array if no file matched or FALSE on error.

Here is an example usage –

$files = glob("/path/to/folder/*.txt");

This will populate the $files variable with a list of all files matching the *.txt pattern in the given path.
