glob
Find pathnames matching a pattern
Description
arrayglob
stringpattern
intflags
The glob function searches for all the pathnames
matching pattern according to the rules used by
the libc glob() function, which is similar to the rules used by common
shells. No tilde expansion or parameter substitution is done.
Returns an array containing the matched files/directories or &false; on
error.
Valid flags:
GLOB_MARK - Adds a slash to each item returned
GLOB_NOSORT - Return files as they appear in the
directory (no sorting)
GLOB_NOCHECK - Return the search pattern if no
files matching it were found
GLOB_NOESCAPE - Backslashes do not quote
metacharacters
GLOB_BRACE - Expands {a,b,c} to match 'a', 'b',
or 'c'
GLOB_ONLYDIR - Return only directory entries
which match the pattern
Before PHP 4.3.3 GLOB_ONLYDIR was
not
available on Windows and other systems not using the GNU
C library.
Convenient way how glob can replace
opendir and friends.

Output will look something like:
¬e.no-remote;
