search for file with either .jpg or gif extention

[Screamsid]

Hi i'm lookin for some advice on how to search for a file that has the extention of either .jpg or .gif on the server.

I'm toying in using file_exists however since i'm searching for a file that will either have the .jpg or .gif extention i'm not totally sure how to go about it. There is a naming convention set up so the name to the file doesn't matter at this particular point of time. However if the file is found it's then deleted.

Hope i explained that properly. Head feels a little swampy at the moment and being to php doesn't help, lol.

Thanks in advance

if you have > 4.30 PHP, use glob()

<?php
$ext="txt";
foreach (glob("*.".$ext) as $filename) {
echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
}
?>

done from memory, cant verifiy it at the moment.

Have a look at the glob() function (PHP 4.3.0 and later)
