Re: Readdir

Got it working fine. Thanks Vincent and Jochem for pointing me in the right direction. Here is the code I used in case anyone's interested... <?php foreach(glob($path.$id."{*.doc,*.pdf,*.txt,*.rtf}", GLOB_BRACE) as $filename) { $cvs[]=$filename; } //Loop through the four possible extensions $i = 0; while ($i <= 3) { //Check there is a value before displaying if(!empty($cvs[$i])) { $cv = str_replace($path, "", $cvs[$i]) ;

       echo "<a href=\"$cvs[$i]\">$cv</a>";

echo "<br>";

       }

echo "\n"; $i++; } ?> On 28/11/06, Tom Chubb <tomchubb@gmail.com> wrote:

                       $pics[]=$filename;

What would be the best way to retrieve a list of files from an upload folder that are called "id" where the extension could be .doc .txt or .pdf For example, I have a folder where people can upload a document and the document is renamed as their user id. They can upload a PDF, DOC or TXT file. They may wish to upload one of each. I am using file_exists for each case, but is there an easier/tidier way of doing it? Thanks in advance, Tom

try the glob() function, something like: $id = getUserId(); foreach (glob("/path/to/user/files/$id.*") as $file) {

       echo $file,"<br />";
