Note Submitter: nutbar at innocent dot com ---- Piping the output of "ls" and parsing that if you don't have glob() handy is kind of a bad hack. Here's a far better implementation that uses normal PHP functions that you will find in < 4.3.0. if ($fp = opendir('.')) { while (($file = readdir($fp)) !== FALSE) { if (is_file($file) && preg_match('/\.txt$/', $file)) { echo "$file\n"; } } closedir($fp); } It's set to return only files, not directories, but you can change that easily by removing the is_file() check. Also, this gives you the extra power of a full regex pattern matcher which glob() may not be able to provide.
