You cannot use wildcards in this comparison: $file_name !="*.php" That literally is looking for a file called "*.php". Instead, use something like: "php" != substr($filename,strlen($filename)-4,3) I might be off on my numbers there but something like that should do. Probably best not to use regular expressions due to the extra overhead. Cheers -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
