Read the files in the directory and place the names of the ones you want
into an array using the directory functions:

DISCLAIMER:
Once again, I'm programming in the email window without testing
the code at all. In theory, it should work, but there's probably a
bug somewhere.
<?
function ls($d='',$f='') { // Lists files in a directory.
/*
Default directory is the PWD.
Default files are all (non-hidden) files.
Usage examples:
ls(); // List all non-hidden files in the current directory.
ls('/share/files'); // All non-hidden files in /share/files.
ls('/home/me/www/','*.php'); // All .php files in /home/me/www/.
*/
$d && (substr($d,-1,1) != "/") ? $d .= "/" : ''; // Adds
trailing slash if needed.
$d && !is_dir($d) ? $err = "Not a directory!" : ''; // Checks
for existence.
!$err ? exec('ls '.$d.$f.' 2>&1',$ret) : $ret = $err; //
Redirects error output.
// If you want to list files AND directories, comment this section out
// and change return $files; below to return $ret;
for($i=0;$i<count($ret);$i++) {
is_file($ret[$i]) ? $files[] = $ret[$i] : '';
}
return $files; // Returns an array of files.
}
print_r(ls());
?>
