i will kill my(sql) self ! :-)

hi all,
i really cannot find a simple exmaple for preg_match function

i whiled the files in the directory ...

$d = dir('.') or die($php_errormsg);
while (false !== ($f = $d->read())) {
if (is_file($d->path.'/'.$f)) {
if (preg_match(match????,substr($f,3))) {
// print '<option> ' . $f . '<option>';
echo "$f\n";
}
}
}
$d->close();

i want to include files begining with "tn_"
what in the heck must stand in pattern position, i tried everything ,
nothing worked
i have actually 8 files starting with tn_* of course ...

thanks

if (substr($fname, 0, 3) == 'tn_')

Use preg_match("/^tn_.*/",$f);
Or even better, don't use preg_match for this easy case because the
suggested substr-only solution is significantly faster.

$files=glob('./tn_*');
foreach ($files as $f) {
print "$f\n";
}


If you kill yourself, may I have your stereo?

There is "glob" function borrowed from the older brother.
