Deleting all files with a certain prefix

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using php 4.4.4. Given a particular directory, I want to delete
all the files that begin with the variable "$prefix". What is the
simplest way to do this?

Thanks ,- Dave

$dir = '/path/to/directory';
$prefix = 'foo';
chdir($dir);
$matches = glob($prefix.'*',GLOB_MARK);
if(is_array($matches) && !empty($matches)){
foreach($matches as $match){
if(is_file($dir.$match) unlink($dir.$match);
}
}
