glob

Description

The glob() function searches for all the pathnames matching pattern according to the rules used by the shell. No tilde expansion or parameter substitution is done.

Returns an array containing the matched files/directories or FALSE on error.

foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) {
    echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
}

funclist.txt size 44686
funcsummary.txt size 267625
quickref.txt size 137820
