Answer 1

You can use glob to get an array of file names that match a given pattern. Here is an example from the manual page:

 foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) { echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n"; } 

Answer 2

 <?php foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) { echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n"; } ?> 

Answer 3

You can use GlobIterator

 $iterator = new GlobIterator('*.txt', FilesystemIterator::KEY_AS_FILENAME); $n = 0; foreach ( $iterator as $item ) { printf("[%d] %s\r\n", ++ $n, $iterator->key()); }
