Read up on

opendir()/readdir()/closedir()/fnmatch()

or

glob()

ftw() (with fnmatch()) may be of interest as well if you do not care about portability with BSD systems - everyone but they supports it.

And I'll close this thread now because you abused the ``report post'' button - It is there to notify moderators of messages that violate the forum rules in one way or another, not to get someone to help you quicker.
