An addition to my previous note: My statement regarding the FNM_* constants was wrong. They are available on POSIX-compliant systems (in other words, if fnmatch() is defined).
fnmatch
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
fnmatch — Comparar un nombre de archivo contra un patrón
Descripción
bool fnmatch
( string $patron
, string $cadena
[, int $banderas
] )
fnmatch() verifica si la cadena pasada coincide con el comodín de intérprete de comandos dado, patron .
Lista de parámetros
- patron
-
El patrón de intérprete de comandos.
- cadena
-
La cadena a probar. Esta función es especialmente útil para nombres de archivos, pero también puede ser usado sobre cadenas comunes.
El usuario promedio puede encontrarse familiarizado con patrones de intérprete de comandos, o, por lo menos en su forma más simple, con los comodines '?' y '*', así que el uso de fnmatch() en lugar de ereg() o preg_match() para el procesamiento de expresiones de búsqueda puede ser mucho más conveniente para usuarios no-programadores.
- banderas
-
Vea la página man Unix sobre fnmatch(3) para consultar los nombres de banderas (mientras no estén documentados aquí).
Valores retornados
Devuelve TRUE si existe una coincidencia, FALSE de lo contrario.
Ejemplos
Example #1 Verificar un nombre de color contra un patrón de comodines de intérprete de comandos
<?php
if (fnmatch("*gr[ae]y", $color)) {
echo "alguna forma de gris (gray) ...";
}
?>
Notes
Warning
Por ahora, esta función no se encuentra disponible en Windows ni otros sistemas no-compatibles con POSIX.

About the windows compat functions below:
I needed fnmatch for a application that had to work on Windows, took a look here and tested both. Jk's works for me, soywiz didn't (on WinXPSP2, PHP 5.2.3).
The only difference between them is addcslashes (soywiz) instead of preg_quote (jk). They _should_ both work, but for some reason soywiz's didn't for me. So YMMV.
However, to make JK's fnmatch() work with the example in the documentation, you also have to strtr the [ and ] in $pattern.
<?php
$pattern = strtr(preg_quote($pattern, '#'), array('\*' => '.*', '\?' => '.', '\[' => '[', '\]' => ']'));
?>
And thanks for the functions, guys.

Possible flags (scratched out of fnmatch.h):
...::...
FNM_PATHNAME:
> Slash in $string only matches slash in $pattern.
FNM_PERIOD:
> Leading period in $string must be exactly matched by period in $pattern.
FNM_NOESCAPE:
> Disable backslash escaping.
FNM_NOSYS:
> Obsolescent.
FNM_FILE_NAME:
> Alias of FNM_PATHNAME.
FNM_LEADING_DIR:
> From fnmatch.h: /* Ignore `/...' after a match. */
FNM_CASEFOLD:
> Caseless match.
Since they’re appearing in file.c, but are not available in PHP, we’ll have to define them ourselves:
<?php
define('FNM_PATHNAME', 1);
define('FNM_PERIOD', 4);
define('FNM_NOESCAPE', 2);
// GNU extensions
define('FNM_FILE_NAME', FNM_PATHNAME);
define('FNM_LEADING_DIR', 8);
define('FNM_CASEFOLD', 16);
?>
I didn’t test any of these except casefold, which worked for me.

soywiz's function still doesn't seem to work -- at least not with PHP 5.2.3 on Windows -- but jk's does.

A revised better alternative for fnmatch on windows. It should work well on PHP >= 4.0.0
<?php
if (!function_exists('fnmatch')) {
function fnmatch($pattern, $string) {
return @preg_match(
'/^' . strtr(addcslashes($pattern, '/\\.+^$(){}=!<>|'),
array('*' => '.*', '?' => '.?')) . '$/i', $string
);
}
}
?>

soywiz's function didnt seem to work for me, but this did.
<?php
if(!function_exists('fnmatch')) {
function fnmatch($pattern, $string) {
return preg_match("#^".strtr(preg_quote($pattern, '#'), array('\*' => '.*', '\?' => '.'))."$#i", $string);
} // end
} // end if
?>

A better "fnmatch" alternative for windows that converts a fnmatch pattern into a preg one. It should work on PHP >= 4.0.0
<?php
if (!function_exists('fnmatch')) {
function fnmatch($pattern, $string) {
return @preg_match('/^' . strtr(addcslashes($pattern, '\\.+^$(){}=!<>|'), array('*' => '.*', '?' => '.?')) . '$/i', $string);
}
}
?>

The last line of soywiz at gmail dot com windows replacement should be changed to:
return preg_match('/' . $npattern . '$/i', $string);
otherwise, a pattern for *.xml will match file.xml~ or any else anything with the text *.xml in it, regardless of position.

A "fnmatch" alternative that converts the pattern, to a valid preg one and uses preg_match then. It will work on windows.
<?php
if (!function_exists('fnmatch')) {
function fnmatch($pattern, $string) {
for ($op = 0, $npattern = '', $n = 0, $l = strlen($pattern); $n < $l; $n++) {
switch ($c = $pattern[$n]) {
case '\\':
$npattern .= '\\' . @$pattern[++$n];
break;
case '.': case '+': case '^': case '$': case '(': case ')': case '{': case '}': case '=': case '!': case '<': case '>': case '|':
$npattern .= '\\' . $c;
break;
case '?': case '*':
$npattern .= '.' . $c;
break;
case '[': case ']': default:
$npattern .= $c;
if ($c == '[') {
$op++;
} else if ($c == ']') {
if ($op == 0) return false;
$op--;
}
break;
}
}
if ($op != 0) return false;
return preg_match('/' . $npattern . '/i', $string);
}
}
?>

you couls also try this function that I wrote before I found fnmatch:
function WildToReg($str)
{
$s = "";
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++)
{
$c = $str{$i};
if ($c =='?')
$s .= '.'; // any character
else if ($c == '*')
$s .= '.*'; // 0 or more any characters
else if ($c == '[' || $c == ']')
$s .= $c; // one of characters within []
else
$s .= '\\' . $c;
}
$s = '^' . $s . '$';
//trim redundant ^ or $
//eg ^.*\.txt$ matches exactly the same as \.txt$
if (substr($s,0,3) == "^.*")
$s = substr($s,3);
if (substr($s,-3,3) == ".*$")
$s = substr($s,0,-3);
return $s;
}
if (ereg(WildToReg("*.txt"), $fn))
print "$fn is a text file";
else
print "$fn is not a text file";
