What are some alternative approaches to automatically importing and archiving CSV files in PHP when filenames are unpredictable?

When dealing with CSV files with unpredictable filenames, one approach is to scan a specific directory for CSV files and then import and archive them automatically. This can be achieved by using PHP's directory handling functions to iterate through the files in a directory, identify CSV files based on their file extensions, and process them accordingly. 

<?php

// Specify the directory where CSV files are located
$directory = "/path/to/csv/files/";

// Open the directory
if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
    // Iterate through the files in the directory
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if (pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION) == 'csv') {
            // Process the CSV file (e.g., import data, archive file)
            echo "Processing file: $file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

?>
