I have issue while using glob function when path directory with square brackets.

// Example 1 - working
$path = \'temp\'. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .\'dir - name\'         


        

Answer 1

Try

$path = 'temp'. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .'dir - [name]';
$from = array('[',']');
$to   = array('\[','\]');
$files =glob(str_replace($from,$to,$path . "\\*.txt"));
echo '
';
    print_r($files);
echo '
';
