Answer 1

you can use following php code to get content of the files.
$path='../innovation';
$files=scandir($path);
//print_r($files);
foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
if($value!="." && $value!="..")
{
print_r(file_get_contents($path."/".$value));
}
}

Answer 2

readfile is ideal for this, since it streams the files directly to the output buffer, which will avoid memory issues for large files.
<?php
$path = 'myDirectory';
$files = glob("{$path}/*.txt");
foreach ($files as $file)
{
readfile($file);
}

If you want to list all the text files (.txt) from a directory to HTML using PHP you can use this code to do it:
<?php
echo '<ul>';
// set the path to the directory...
$dirname = "directory/";
$files = glob($dirname."*.txt");
foreach($files as $file) {
echo '<li>'.$file.'</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>

Answer 4

You can try this:
$directory = "./foldername";
$files = glob($directory . "*.txt");
foreach($files as $file){
$file = fopen($directory . '/' . $file,'r');
while ($line = fgets($file)) {
echo($line);
}
fclose($fh);
}

Use glob() to get all *.txt files in a directory. After loop through every file with a foreach loop and get the content of each file using file_get_contents() and put the content into the target file with file_put_contents()
<?php
$files = glob("path/*.txt");
$output = "output.txt";
foreach($files as $file) {
$content = file_get_contents($file);
print_r($content);
}
?>
