i have search values like "search value" (defined as $q) and .txt files called "search value.txt" in /mydir/ directory. How can i scandir /mydir/ for the search value ($q) and put the found .txt file with php include command into page? Or is it a better way to put $q value into php file_get_contents php code (i mean put them together like a txt filename like (q$.txt - searchvalue.txt somehow) and pull the content of the .txt file into page? If yes, how? Thanks in advance.
Suppose you have this directory structure :
mydir
--file1.tx
--file2.tx
index.php
index.php
$filepath = glob("mydir/*.txt");//read all txt files in data directory
//print_r($filepath);//debug purpose
$search = 'file1';
// Browse all files and search the $search string in filenames
foreach ($filepath as $filename) {
// Give us file name only without the extension
$fileNameOnly = basename($filename, '.txt');
// Check if a file name only contains exactly our keyword $search
$isExactMatch = preg_match("/\b".$search."\b/iu", $fileNameOnly);
if ( $isExactMatch ) {
// Include the .txt file as result
require $filename;
}
}
Tested, it does the trick.
