<?php
// open the current directory
$dhandle = opendir('.');
// define an array to hold the files
$files = array();
if ($dhandle) {
// loop through all of the files
while (false !== ($fname = readdir($dhandle))) {
if (($fname != 'other') && ($fname != 'dd') && ($fname != 'index.htm') && ($fname != 'torcache.php')&& ($fname != 'error_log') &&
($fname != basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))) {
// store the filename
$files[] = (is_dir( "./$fname" )) ? "(Dir) {$fname}" : $fname;
}
}
// close the directory
closedir($dhandle);
}
what i would like to do is if the file starts with 'other' or 'dd' then to not include it in the loop $files; short of naming the whole filename in the !=, what can i do to exclude these files?
