Does glob() have negation?

Question

I know I can do this...

glob(\'/dir/somewhere/*.zip\');

...to get all files ending in .zip, but is there a way to return all f

Answer 1

A quick way would be to glob() for everything and use preg_grep() to filter out the files that you do not want.

preg_grep('#\.zip$#', glob('/dir/somewhere/*'), PREG_GREP_INVERT)
