How to exclude certain file names from php arraydiff and scandir

[durangod]

Hi,

I have been playing around with how to exclude any file name that includes the word thumb so basically
*thumb*   when i get a file list from a dir.   But my attempts are failing...

I am thinking the only way to do it is to use foreach on the result and filter out the file names i dont want.  I dont think i can do it using tthe array_diff command

current code i am skipping the linux  [..] and [.] dir listings

Code: [Select]

$logo_list =  array_diff(scandir(CORE_LOCAL_LOGO_IMAGES), array('..', '.'));

//this did not work
$logo_list =  array_diff(scandir(CORE_LOCAL_LOGO_IMAGES), array('..', '.','*thumb*'));


but how do i also skip *thumb*?   

Update:  best i could come up with is to wait to filter it in my foreach for the html select

Code: [Select]

if(strstr($val, 'thumb') === false)
{
     //not found
}

Unless you files with thumb in their names don't have an extension, shouldn't your *thumb* really be *thumb*.* to cover all extensions?

Yeah that could work, i only allow jpg, gif, png  so im thinking the global would allow too wide a range.
