static	toRegex ($glob, $strictLeadingDot=true, $strictWildcardSlash=true, $delimiter= '#')

Detailed Description

Glob matches globbing patterns against text.

if match_glob("foo.*", "foo.bar") echo "matched\n";

// prints foo.bar and foo.baz $regex = glob_to_regex("foo.*"); for (array('foo.bar', 'foo.baz', 'foo', 'bar') as $t) { if (/$regex/) echo "matched: $car\n"; }

Glob implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem.

Based on the Perl Text::Glob module.
