A utility implementing Ant-like globbing.
Syntax:
?matches any character*matches zero or more characters, except//**/matches zero or more directory names[abc]matches a single charactera,borc[a-c]matches a single charactera,borc[^abc]matches any character buta,borc[^a-c]matches any character buta,borc{ab,cd}matchesaborcd
Compared to PHP's native glob() function, this utility supports:
/**/for matching zero or more directories- globbing custom stream wrappers, like
myscheme://path/**/*.css - matching globs against path strings
- filtering arrays of path strings by a glob
- exceptions if the glob contains invalid syntax
Since PHP's native glob() function is much more efficient, this utility uses
glob() internally whenever possible (i.e. when no special feature is used).
Use Composer to install the package:
$ composer require webmozart/glob
The main class of the package is Glob. Use Glob::glob() to glob the
filesystem:
use Webmozart\Glob\Glob;
$paths = Glob::glob('/path/to/dir/*.css'); You can also use GlobIterator to search the filesystem iteratively. However,
the iterator is not guaranteed to return sorted results:
use Webmozart\Glob\Iterator\GlobIterator;
$iterator = new GlobIterator('/path/to/dir/*.css');
foreach ($iterator as $path) {
// ...
}The package also provides utility methods for comparing paths against globs.
Use Glob::match() to match a path against a glob:
if (Glob::match($path, '/path/to/dir/*.css')) {
// ...
}Glob::filter() filters a list of paths by a glob:
$paths = Glob::filter($paths, '/path/to/dir/*.css');The same can be achieved iteratively with GlobFilterIterator:
use Webmozart\Glob\Iterator\GlobFilterIterator;
$iterator = new GlobFilterIterator('/path/to/dir/*.css', new ArrayIterator($paths));
foreach ($iterator as $path) {
// ...
}You can also filter the keys of the path list by passing the FILTER_KEY
constant of the respective class:
$paths = Glob::filter($paths, '/path/to/dir/*.css', Glob::FILTER_KEY);
$iterator = new GlobFilterIterator(
'/path/to/dir/*.css',
new ArrayIterator($paths),
GlobFilterIterator::FILTER_KEY
);Relative globs such as *.css are not supported. Usually, such globs refer to
paths relative to the current working directory. This utility, however, does not
want to make such assumptions. Hence you should always pass absolute globs, so
usage of __DIR__ is encouraged:
use Webmozart\Glob\Glob;
$paths = Glob::glob(__DIR__ . '/*');Globs need to be passed in canonical form with forward slashes only. Returned paths contain forward slashes only.
The Glob class supports escaping by typing a backslash character \ before
any special character:
$paths = Glob::glob('/backup\\*/*.css');In this example, the glob matches all CSS files in the /backup* directory
rather than in all directories starting with /backup. Due to PHP's own
escaping in strings, the backslash character \ needs to be typed twice to
produce a single \ in the string.
The following escape sequences are available:
\\?: match a?in the path\\*: match a*in the path\\{: match a{in the path\\}: match a}in the path\\[: match a[in the path\\]: match a]in the path\\^: match a^in the path\\-: match a-in the path\\\\: match a\in the path
The Glob class supports stream wrappers:
$paths = Glob::glob('myscheme:///**/*.css');Contributions to the package are always welcome!
