Get files form dir with glob and check if it is in array then include?

Question

How could I use the php function glob to get files from a directory and put them in an array and then include them with index.php?file=filename if it exists?

This is what I came up with so far but it doesn't work.

$files = glob("files/*.php");
$file = array($files);

if (in_array(..

OR is there a smarter way to do this without having to write all pages in the index.php?

Answer 1

If I'm understanding you right you can use array_intersect():

$files = glob("files/*.php");
$allowedFiles = array('1.php', '2.php', '3.php')

$matchedFiles = array_intersect($files, $allowedFiles);

foreach ($matchedFiles as $file)
{
    // do something with 'index.php?file=' . $file
}

Not sure what you mean by "include them with ..."

glob returns an array, so you don't need to do anything else with it. example in docs shows something similar to the following:

foreach (glob("files/*.php") as $filename) {
    echo "index.php?file=".basename($filename, ".php");
}

I don'know if i've understood but if you want to put all files in an array and send it to the index.php page this is the way to do it:

$files = glob("files/*.php");
$group=array();
foreach($files as $file) $group[]="file[]=$file";
$path="index.php".(count($group) ? "?".implode("&",$group) : "");

foreach($files as $file) $group[]="index.php?page=$file";

Now in the $group array you have the pages paths
