Browsing directory using PHP

Are you looking to search a directory for a specific file, or just display contents of a directory? Then I think this snippet of code will be useful.


$searchFile = 'my_file.txt';

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
    // looping through the files in the directory
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if($file == $searchFile) {
            echo "found your file";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}
