[SOLVED] unlink (delete files) with asterix's???? possible?

[dj-kenpo]

is it possible to delete a file and use an asterix? (or any wildcard)

ie, I tried  @unlink(Username_CV_."*"); and @unlink(Username_CV_.*); to no success.

 

the ending is a date, so it could be Username_CV_june27_2007 or aug31 or whatever, and obviously I don't want to delete ALL the files from other users as well...

 

I guess I could store the file name in a table, but it would be nicer to not need that to simply delete simple a file...

 

thanks!

<?php

  $files = glob('Username_CV_*');
  foreach($files as $file) {
    unlink($file);
  }

?>

coolio, didn't know about glob.. and I wouldn't have known how to find it either, "glob? ya, I had one of those under my bed last week. nasty monsters, never had one in the closet though..."
