How to get only images using scandir in PHP?

Question

Is there any way to get only images with extensions jpeg, png, gif etc while using

$dir    = \'/tmp\';
$files1 = scand         


        

Answer 1

If you would like to scan a directory and return filenames only you can use this:

$fileNames = array_map(
    function($filePath) {
        return basename($filePath);
    },
    glob('./includes/*.{php}', GLOB_BRACE)
);

scandir() will return . and .. as well as the files, so the above code is cleaner if you just need filenames or you would like to do other things with the actual filepaths
