scandir( $path) returns the searched result in array.
$result = scandir(directory, order, context)
- it returns false on failure.
<?php
$r = scandir("/etc/");
print_r( $r);
?>
Below is another example to find files in regexp.
// Programmed by Chun Kang - 2020-03-27
function findfiles( $path, $regexp="", $order=0)
{
$r = scandir( $path, $order); // $order: 0->ascending / 1->descending
if ($r==false) return $r;
else if ($regexp!="")
{
$i=count($r)-1;
while($i>=0)
{
if (!preg_match('/' . $regexp . '/', $r[$i])) unset($r[$i]);
$i--;
}
}
return $r;
}
$r = findfiles( "/repostirory", "qsok(.*)mysql");
print_r($r);
