How do you itterate files in a directory

[tony@tony.com]

I'm using PHP to develop for a web site but I'd also like to use it
locally on my Windows platform for easy conversion later on.

I have PHP working fine on windows but now I want to do something
thats stumped me.

On windows-98

I'm trying to perform operations on every text (*.txt) file in a
directory but can't work out how to select them.

Normally I use Delphi and findfirst/findnext etc.

I looked for the equivalent PHP functions and did find directoryIterat e
but there's no documents or much explanation at all and I can't get it to
work.

Am I doing the right thing or is there a better way - can anyone show me
please ?

thanks

tony

aha - thank you fletch. That will do it.
I was misled by my own search string obviously.

Look at the glob function.
