Description

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• GLOB_NOESCAPE - Backslashes do not quote metacharacters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

Przykład 1. Convenient way how glob() can replace opendir() and friends. <?php foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) {     echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n"; } ?> Output will look something like: funclist.txt size 44686 funcsummary.txt size 267625 quickref.txt size 137820
