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(no sorting) GLOB_NOCHECK - Return the search pattern if no files matching it were found GLOB_NOESCAPE - Backslashes do not quote metacharacters GLOB_BRACE - Expands {a,b,c} to match 'a', 'b', or 'c' GLOB_ONLYDIR - Return only directory entries which match the pattern Before PHP 4.3.3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 <function>glob</function> can replace <function>opendir</function> and friends. ]]> Output will look something like: ¬e.no-remote; See also opendir, readdir, closedir, and fnmatch.
