What are some best practices for displaying all PDF files in a folder as download links using PHP?

To display all PDF files in a folder as download links using PHP, you can use the glob function to retrieve all PDF files in the directory and then loop through them to create download links for each file. You can use the basename function to get the filename of each PDF file and display it as the link text. 

<?php
// Define the directory where the PDF files are located
$directory = "path/to/pdf/files/";

// Get all PDF files in the directory
$pdfFiles = glob($directory . "*.pdf");

// Loop through each PDF file and display as download link
foreach ($pdfFiles as $pdfFile) {
    $fileName = basename($pdfFile);
    echo "<a href='$pdfFile' download>$fileName</a><br>";
}
?>
