glob — Find pathnames matching a pattern
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.
The behavior on Unix systems and macOS is determined by the system's
implementation of glob(). On Windows, an implementation that conforms
to the POSIX 1003.2 definition for glob() is used, and it includes
an extension to handle the [!...] convention for
negating a range.
patternThe pattern. No tilde expansion or parameter substitution is done.
Special characters:
* - Matches zero or more characters.
? - Matches exactly one character (any character).
[...] - Matches one character from a group of
characters. If the first character is !,
matches any character not in the group.
{a,b,c} - Matches one string from a group of
strings delimited by a comma when the GLOB_BRACE
flag is used.
\ - Escapes the following character,
except when the GLOB_NOESCAPE flag is used.
flags
Any of the GLOB_* constants.
Returns an array containing the matched files/directories, an empty array
if no file matched or false on error.
Unless GLOB_NOSORT was used, the names will
be sorted alphanumerically.
Example #1 Convenient way how glob() can replace opendir() and friends.
<?php
foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) {
echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
}
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:
funclist.txt size 44686 funcsummary.txt size 267625 quickref.txt size 137820
Example #2 Example with a more complex pattern
<?php
foreach (glob("path/*/*.{txt,md}", \GLOB_BRACE) as $filename) {
echo "$filename\n";
}
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà qualcosa simile a:
path/docs/mailinglist-rules.md path/docs/README.md path/docs/release-process.md path/pear/install-pear.txt path/Zend/README.md
Nota: Questa funzione non opererà su file remoti perché il file che deve essere esaminato deve essere accessibile attraverso il filesysmte del server.
Nota: This function isn't available on some systems (e.g. old Sun OS).
