Is There A Way To glob() Only Files?

I finally found a solution :

echo "Only files\n";
$files = array_filter(glob("/*"), 'is_file');
var_dump($files);

But take care, array_filter will preserve numeric keys : use array_values if you need to reindex the array.

You can use GLOB_BRACE to match documents against a list of known file extensions:

$files = glob("/path/to/directory/*.{jpg,gif,png,html,htm,php,ini}", GLOB_BRACE);

see: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/php-glob-find-files/

There is an easier way, just one line:

$files = glob("/path/to/directory/*.{*}", GLOB_BRACE);

the {*} means all file endings, so every file, but no folder!
