file_exists with only part file name??

[Scooby08]

I'm just trying to find out if php has the ability to check if any file exists, with only part of the filename given..

 

I have this path:

 

if (file_exists($dir.'/'.$c_file.'/templ_*')) {

 

I added a little star.. That star represents whatever the rest of that file is named for this example.. It could be anything.. So can php match any files that start with "templ_", and say that it does or does not exist??

 

Thanks

file_exists will only function correctly if the full (path and) filename are present, It doesn't support wildcards. You may want to look into the glob function.
