Getting the names of all files in a directory with PHP

Question

For some reason, I keep getting a '1' for the file names with this code:

if (is_dir($log_directory)) {     if ($handle = opendir($log_directory))     {         while($file = readdir($handle) !== FALSE)         {             $results_array[] = $file;         }         closedir($handle);     } } 

When I echo each element in $results_array, I get a bunch of '1's, not the name of the file. How do I get the name of the files?

Answer 1

Don't bother with open/readdir and use glob instead:

foreach(glob($log_directory.'/*.*') as $file) {     ... } 

Answer 2

SPL style:

foreach (new DirectoryIterator(__DIR__) as $file) {   if ($file->isFile()) {       print $file->getFilename() . "\n";   } } 

Check DirectoryIterator and SplFileInfo classes for the list of available methods that you can use.
