If you are working in pure PHP5 OOP, you could like to try the new SPL iterators. see http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-SPL.html#12 vincent -----Original Message----- From: Tom Chubb [mailto:tomchubb@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 28/11/2006 9:55 To: [php] PHP General List Subject: Readdir What would be the best way to retrieve a list of files from an upload folder that are called "id" where the extension could be .doc .txt or .pdf For example, I have a folder where people can upload a document and the document is renamed as their user id. They can upload a PDF, DOC or TXT file. They may wish to upload one of each. I am using file_exists for each case, but is there an easier/tidier way of doing it?
