nice, i never saw that. I assume you could go *.*, can you give it
multiple matches, like *.jpg, *.gif ?

here is a func which can give an array of either folders or files:

$aListOfFiles = GetDirList($someDirectory, 'files');
$aListOfFfolders = GetDirList($someDirectory, 'folders');

function GetDirList($parent, $filesorfolders){
    $oldDir = getcwd();
    $list = array();

    if ($handle = opendir($parent)) {
        chdir($parent);
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {

             if ($filesorfolders == "folders"){
                if ( (is_dir($file)) && ($file != ".") && ($file !=
".."))
                     {$list[] = $file;
                 }}
            if ($filesorfolders == "files"){
                if ( (is_file($file)) && ($file != ".") && ($file !=
".."))
                     {$list[] = $file;
                 }}

        }// while reading
        closedir($handle);
        chdir($oldDir);
    }//if handle
     
    sort($list);
    reset($list);
    return $list;
} //func
