list files in a directory...as in:

==============

<?
function listFiles($path = '.', $extension = array(), $combine = false)
{
$wd = getcwd();
$path .= substr($path, -1) != '/' ? '/' : '';
if (!chdir($path)){ return array(); }
if (!$extension){ $extension = array('*'); }
if (!is_array($extension)){ $extension = array($extension); }
$extensions = '*.{' . implode(',', $extension) . '}';
$files = glob($extensions, GLOB_BRACE);
chdir($wd);
if (!$files){ return array(); }
$list = array();
$path = $combine ? $path : '';
foreach ($files as $file)
{
$list[] = $path . $file;
}
return $list;
}
$files = listFiles('c:/inetpub/wwwroot/images', 'jpg', true);
$images = array();
foreach ($files as $file)
{
$fileInfo = pathinfo($file);
$handle = fopen($file, 'r');
$fileInfo = array_merge($fileInfo, fstat($handle));
fclose($handle);
for ($i = 0; $i < 13; $i++){ unset($fileInfo[$i]); }
echo '<pre>' . print_r($fileInfo, true) . '</pre>';
}
?>

==============

if you want to search for multiple extensions, then the listFiles arg would
be an array...as in:

array('jpg', 'gif', 'tif')

make sense?
