perl opendir like function for php?

paulish · 09-20-2003, 07:40 PM

i was just wondering... is there a opendir and readdir function for php like there is in perl? or do i have to create a file with the names of all files within the folder to be able to see all files in a directory (sorry if that didn't make much sense). ?????

thanks,
paulish

Code:

<html>
<title>
ls --- command
</title>
<?php
$all=shell_exec("ls directory_path");
$content=preg_split ("/\s+/", $all);
foreach ($content as $file)
print"$file <br>";
?>

</html>
