How would I read files from a certain directory? I've looked all over and I couldn't find anything.

PHP Function read_dir
ALSO See your directory functions here!

Example to display files from a directory:

<?php

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
	echo "Directory handle: $handle\n";
	echo "Files:\n";

	/* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
		echo "$file\n";
	}

	closedir($handle);
}
?>

Newest php has a function called, scandir. Which is what you have above.
