Defining and reading a file.

I am editing a script for a friend.
Code: Select all
<?php
$file1="1.txt"; //Text file for trial purposes... should be in the same directory as
$file2="2.txt";
How do I define the file to read the txt no matter what it is called? Such as a wild card.
$file1="*.txt"; Would this work?

you cannot read any file, that would be slightly strange.
I don't see why you would want that either.
If you want to read each file in a folder you have to get all the files in the folder, uhm can't remember the function for that right now.

scandir();
array scandir ( string directory [, int sorting_order [, resource context]] )
then just remove the extra entrys with string functions.

What the script is for is an online sports league. It reads text files, and uploads the information to a database. I can post the entire script if you wish. It is a little long, and like I said, I did not write it. I am only making modifications to it.
BTW thanks for helping on this
