PHP include by name

Question

Hello,

I have "content" folder which is full of other sub-directories named in the following way: "id1_1","id1_2", "id1_3" and other "id2_1", "id2_2" etc. Each of these folders contains a file "template.php", same name in all sub-directories.

The number of folders is dynamic so I need to find a way to import in "index.php" only the "template.php" from all the folders starting with "id_1_".

How can I do it? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use a recursive function + foreach + glob:

Answer 2

You can use the glob() function:

$arrFiles = glob('./id_1_*/template.php');
foreach($arrFiles as $file) {
     include_once($file);
}
