PHP Regex specify multiple paths using glob()

Question

glob(\"aaafolder/*php\")
glob(\"bbbfolder/*php\")
glob(\"cccfolder/*php\")

Is it possible to simplify this?

glob(\"(?=aaafolder/*p         


        

Answer 1

As the PHP manual said, its the GLOB_BRACE flag.

glob("{aaafolder/*php,bbbfolder/*php,cccfolder/*php}", GLOB_BRACE)

Answer 2

This note on the manual page of glob() seems to answer your question, saying that glob is not limited to a single directory : using GLOB_BRACE, you can specify several directories.

I'm quoting the example that @Ultimater gives there :

$results=glob("{includes/*.php,core/*.php}",GLOB_BRACE);

_{User-notes on the manual pages often contain useful informations and examples ;-)}
