How to get only images using scandir in PHP?

You can use glob

$images = glob('/tmp/*.{jpeg,gif,png}', GLOB_BRACE);

If you need this to be case-insensitive, you could use a DirectoryIterator in combination with a RegexIterator or pass the result of scandir to array_map and use a callback that filters any unwanted extensions. Whether you use strpos, fnmatch or pathinfo to get the extension is up to you.

The actual question was using scandir and the answers end up in glob. There is a huge difference in both where blob considerably heavy. The same filtering can be done with scandir using the following code:

$images = preg_grep('~\.(jpeg|jpg|png)$~', scandir($dir_f));

I hope this would help somebody.
