note 81367 added to function.include

I have a need to include a lot of files, all of which are contained in one directory. Support for things like <?php include_once 'dir/*.php'; ?> would be nice, but it doesn't exist. Therefore I wrote this quick function (located in a file automatically included by auto_prepend_file): <?php function include_all_once ($pattern) { foreach (glob($pattern) as $file) { // remember the { and } are necessary! include $file; } } // used like include_all_once('dir/*.php'); ?> A fairly obvious solution. It doesn't deal with relative file paths though; you still have to do that yourself. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 134.121.124.158 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81367 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81367 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81367 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
