Example#1 Convenient way how glob() can replace opendir() and friends.
<?php
foreach (glob("*.txt") as $filename) {
echo "$filename size " . filesize($filename) . "\n";
}
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
funclist.txt size 44686 funcsummary.txt size 267625 quickref.txt size 137820
Anmerkungen
Hinweis: Diese Funktion kann nicht mit entfernten Dateien arbeiten, da der Zugriff auf die Datei, die bearbeitet werden soll, über das Dateisystem des Servers möglich sein muss.
Hinweis: This function isn't available on some systems (e.g. old Sun OS).
Hinweis: The GLOB_BRACE flag is not available on some non GNU systems, like Solaris.
