This is especially useful for filenames, but may also be used on regular strings.
|
|
The average user may be used to shell patterns or at least in their simplest form
|
|
to <literal>'?'</literal> and <literal>'*'</literal> wildcards so using
|
|
<function>fnmatch</function> instead of <function>ereg</function> or
|
|
<function>preg_match</function> for frontend search expression input may be
|
|
way more convenient for non-programming users.
