PHP List Files: Methods & Examples

1. You can obtain a list of files that meet a specific pattern using the `glob()` function in PHP, for example:

$files = glob('path/to/directory/*');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo $file . "<br>";
}

1. You can use the scandir() function in PHP to get a list of files in a directory, for example:

$files = scandir('path/to/directory');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo $file . "<br>";
}

1. You can open a directory, read a list of files, and close the directory using the opendir(), readdir(), and closedir() functions in PHP.

$dir = 'path/to/directory';
if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo $file . "<br>";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

All of these methods can be used to obtain a list of files in a directory. Choose the method that best suits your needs for obtaining a file list.
