Answer 1

The simplest and most fun way (imo) is glob

foreach (glob("*.*") as $filename) {     echo $filename."<br />"; } 

But the standard way is to use the directory functions.

if (is_dir($dir)) {     if ($dh = opendir($dir)) {         while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {             echo "filename: .".$file."<br />";         }         closedir($dh);     } } 

There are also the SPL DirectoryIterator methods. If you are interested
