Are there any best practices for including folders in PHP and reading arrays from included files?

When including folders in PHP and reading arrays from included files, it is best practice to use the `glob()` function to get all PHP files in the folder, then loop through each file to include it and read the arrays from them. This allows for dynamic inclusion of files and easy retrieval of arrays without hardcoding file names. 

$folder_path = 'path/to/folder/';
$files = glob($folder_path . '*.php');

foreach ($files as $file) {
    include $file;
    // Assuming each included file contains an array named $data
    if (isset($data) && is_array($data)) {
        // Process the array as needed
        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            echo $key . ': ' . $value . '<br>';
        }
    }
}
