Search for files?

[Pixel-Artist]

How would I make a script that searches for files in a directory with some put of what I inputed in it?

Lets pretend I already collected search information into $inputed

I would really appreciate it.

Totally Untested, though this may get you started:

$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
$inputed = NULL;
$files = $results = array();

if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && is_file($file)) {
$files[] = $file;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}

foreach($files as $key)
if(strpos($key, $inputed) === true)
$results[] = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $key;
Results returned via the $results array as entire filepaths.

glob() is the easiest way to search through a directory.
