read multiple files with php from directory

Question

My question: is there a possibility to read multiple html files into a PHP file? I now use this code for reading the content from a file:

<?php
$file_handle = fopen("myfiles/file1.html", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$line = fgets($file_handle);
echo $line;
}
fclose($file_handle);
?>

But this gives me only the content of file1.html

So i was wondering if it is possible to do something like this:

<?php
$file_handle = fopen("myfiles/*.html", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle)) {
$line = fgets($file_handle);
echo $line;
}
fclose($file_handle);
?>

The * above represents all .html files

Is there any way to do that?

Try this:

<?php
foreach (glob("myfiles/*.html") as $file) {
    $file_handle = fopen($file, "r");
    while (!feof($file_handle)) {
        $line = fgets($file_handle);
        echo $line;
    }
    fclose($file_handle);
}
?>
