why? glob only finds things if they exist.
*looks* like a misunderstanding of GLOB_BRACE.
why 2 loops?

this shouldn't work. at least the links shouldn't work
unless the files are on a local disk (which is a web scenario is unlikely).
foreach(glob($path.$id."{*.doc,*.pdf,*.txt,*.rtf}",GLOB_BRACE) as $f) {
echo '<a href="',makeFilePathIntoValidURL($f),'">',basename($f),'</a><br />';
}
// just a example/idea - I assume the 'id' files are accessible via the web
function makeFilePathIntoValidURL($f) {
if (!strpos($f, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) === 0) return '#nolink';
return str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], $f);
