Re: File Searching problem

My problem is I don't know how to open all of the files in the directory, since I don't know the name of the files. These php files keep updating, and the names would be KB_XXXXXX.php, where XXXXXX is the ID of that particular file. I need to open ALL of these files and search the phrase in

it. Any body have any idea how I can open these files? I am probably going

to be using RE to search, so maybe I can use fread() to store a file in a variable and search one file at a time.

This little function will return all the files in a directory as an array. Hope this helps : function getFiles($dirname) {

     $handle=opendir($dirname);
     while ($file = readdir($handle))
     {
        if($file=='.'||$file=='..')
            continue;
        else
            $result_array[]=$file;
     }
     closedir($handle);
     return $result_array;

} Call it like this : $file_list = getFiles("/parent/sub"); Regards, -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com
