Anyway when you include files by script (not scpecifying the order in
which u include them) check out class inheritage and class usage in
files you include. Classes that are inherited must be included first.

PHP List,
Up until now, in order to get all the functions and classes I need in my scripts, I have always made a file called "includes.php" that contains a series of include() statements for all of the files that I want to include. Then I just include that one file at the top of all my PHP scripts.
This system works okay, but I thought it would be better to have a consistent naming standard, and use some kind wild card or loop to include all the files I want. That way I can change, add, and remove files a little easier.
All the files I want to include end with either ".class", or with "_fns.php". ("fns" stands for "functions".)
It seems that wildcard characters are not supported in the include() function. Some experiments and a search on the web seem to confirm this.
So then I thought what I need to do is use the readdir() function somehow, and make an array of all files ending in ".class" or "_fns.php", and then make a while or foreach loop to include every required file.
I couldn't quite figure out how to do that, but in any case I wondered if running this loop at the start of every single PHP script might be unnecessary overhead. After all, the list of included files will only change when I work on the system. It's not going to vary at all based on any kind of user input or in standard usage of my web site.
What would be the recommended way of including files that will change as I work on the system? Do most people create a function to detect the included files, or do most people make a static list that they edit by hand?

Dave:
I group my includes per functionality, such as all dB operations
(config, open, close, etc.) go into a db include folder (db_inc) and so
on. I don't make large files, but rather small files limited to a
specific operations. That works for me -- but, only you can figure out
what works for you.
As for your code, try this:
<?php
$file_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; // or whatever directory you want
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
while ($file = readdir($the_dir))
{
if(eregi("(\.pdf|\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$", $file)) // check the
files extension:
{
$html[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($the_dir);
if($html == null)
{
die("No files in this directory!");
}
sort($html);
foreach($html as $html => $value)
{
echo ("<br/> $value");
}
?>
