    Here is a sample code will guide you;
    This code scans within the chosen directory, returns the content which
    ends with "txt".

    $MySuggestion="Switch to MySQL buddie!;)";

    function isHorseTxt($filepath){

    $file=scandir("$filepath");
    $cf=count($file);
    for($i=0; $i<$cf; $i++){
    $istxt=substr("$file[$i]", 0, -3);
    if($istxt=="txt")
    echo("$file[$i]"); // i echoed here, or return
    something..
    }
