Question

I use following simple code to include all files from common folder.

$path=array();
$ds=DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
$path['root']=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$path['common']=$path['root'].$ds."common".$ds;

//Include settings
require $path['common'].$ds."settings.php";

//including common php files
foreach (glob($path['common'].$ds."*.php") as $filename) {
    if($filename!="settings.php")
    require $path['common'].$ds.$filename;
}

As you see, at first I use

require $path['common'].$ds."settings.php";

then including all the rest of files with foreach loop.

I wonder, if it is possible to include setting.php file first then all other files inside foreach loop, without writing line above?

Answer 1

$files=glob($path['common'].$ds."*.php";
array_unshift($files,$path['common'].$ds."settings.php");
foreach ($files as $filename)
  require_once $filename;
