Answer 2

You need to change the regular expression in preg_grep:

$files = preg_grep('~^tpl-.*\.php$~', scandir(admin . "templates/default/"));

Explanation:

1. ^tpl- - starting with "tpl-"

2. .* - any characters

3. \.php$ - ending with ".php"

 $target_file_png = glob($target_dir.'/group_'.$groupId.'*.png'); 

$target_file_png will return an array containing all the files in folder specified in the path $target_dir starting with '/group_'.$groupId.' and specify the file format as *.png
