Is there a way to glob() only files?

Question

I know that glob can look for all files or only all directories inside a folder :

echo \"All files:\\n\";
$all = glob(\"/*\");
var_dump($all);

echo \"Only d

10% faster compared to the solution of @AlainTiemblo :

$files = array_filter(glob("/*", GLOB_MARK), function($path){ return $path[ strlen($path) - 1 ] != '/'; });

It uses GLOB_MARK to add a slash to each directory and by that we are able to remove those entries through array_filter() and an anonymous function.

Since PHP 7.1.0 supports Negative numeric indices you can use this instead, too:

$files = array_filter(glob("/*", GLOB_MARK), function($path){return $path[-1] != '/';});

No relevant speed gain, but it helps avoiding the stackoverflow scrollbar ^^

As array_filter() preserve the keys you should consider re-indexing the array with array_values() afterwards:

$files = array_values($files);
