Note Submitter: neale-php at woozle dot org ---- oryan's example is still sub-optimal, even if people using it never ever substitute a variable for directory. Just use PHP's glob() function, which will be faster and more efficient anyway since it doesn't have to launch a shell and run the ls program (that's what the shell_exec does). $result = glob("directory/*");
