# glob

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

glob -- Find pathnames matching a pattern

## Description

array glob ( string pattern [, int flags])

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.

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- `GLOB_NOESCAPE` - Backslashes do not quote metacharacters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

> Anmerkung: Before PHP 4.3.3 `GLOB_ONLYDIR` was not available on Windows and other systems not using the GNU C library.

Beispiel 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

> Anmerkung: This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the servers filesystem.

See also opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), and fnmatch().
