Question

I want to “include” the last 2 files in my php file based on their names.

So the names are:

01-blahbla.php
02-sdfsdff.php
03-aaaaaaa.php
04-bbbbbbb.php
05-wwwwwwi.php

and I only want to include 05 and 04 since their name starts with the biggest number.

How do I go on about doing this?

Assuming there is only the numbered files in the folder, you could use

$files = glob('/path/to/files/*.php'); // get all php files in path
natsort($files);                       // sort in natural ascending order
$highest = array_pop($files);          // get last file, e.g. highest number
$second  = array_pop($files);          // again for second highest number
