So I've been looking for an option in PHP I'm not sure exists, but maybe I'm just overlooking the solution as I often do. I'd like to use includes in my PHP to break up my code into smaller bite-sized chunks. I'd like to make the include look for a part of the filename and not the whole name.
So for example. I have 1 file and 3 sub-files.
In the jobs.php file I have 3 includes for the various needs enclosed in some logic.
include 'partials/jobs_view_simple.php';
include 'partials/jobs_view_detail.php';
include 'partials/jobs_view_print.php';
Is there a way in PHP that I can point to the subfile by referencing the last word/s. Similarly to how wordpress has get_template_part. I think this would be helpful for me in this project, but I'm not sure how this is possible. Maybe this is a function I will need to write that doesn't already exist.
Thoughts?
Should be able to use glob() so you should simply be able to do this:
foreach (glob("partials/jobs*.php") as $filename) {
include $filename;
}
