You can do it in dired, if you mark all the files you'd like to open, then
use 'dired-do-find-marked-files'
You will need to (require 'dired-x) in your .emacs too.

Often times when I'm coding I'll want to load all files in a particular
directory into a buffer. Right now I have to do:
emacs ./file1
Then for each other file
C-x C-f filename
Is there something I can put in my .emacs file to tell emacs that when I
type a directory name under open file that all files in that directory
should be loaded, or even better, a command or set of keys I can press
to automatically load all files in a directory?
Thanks in advance,
-Dan

doesn't 'emacs *' work? it should, but i don't want to shut down emacs in
order to test. ;-)

Perhaps I should be more specific. If I ran:
$emacs ./*
It would open up all files in the directory, but this would include
backup files (i.e. beginning with a # and ending with a # or ~).
Is it possible to tell emacs to ignore those files?
I was thinking of something like:
$emacs ./*.php
If for example I wanted to access all PHP scripts in a directory. But
then if there were any HTML pages they wouldn't be displayed. Plus this
involves exiting and restarting emacs. I was hoping there would be a
more elegant solution.
Thanks in advance,
Dan Anderson

No, you have to tell your shell not to pass them to emacs. I don't
usually have autosave files lying around, so exclude backup files I
would run: emacs !(*~)

emacs *.php *.html

The elegant solution is to open the directory in dired, then go from there
(see Dave Footitt's response): emacs .

I don't use much dired; you could do too:
M-x server-start RET
M-x shell RET
cd $where_you_want
emacsclient -n [^#]*[^~] RET
or:
(require 'cl)
(dolist (f (delete-if
(lambda (path) (not (string-match ".*/[^#/][^/]*[^~/]$" path)))
(file-expand-wildcards "/where/you/want/*")))
(find-file f))

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
