Picking Out Specifics from a List

Alright, I got tons of help last time and now I'm stuck again...

I have the following list:

thumbs/thumb.Aaliyah-1.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Aaliyah-22.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Aaliyah-3.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Abi-Titmuss-1.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Abi-Titmuss-2.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Abi-Titmuss-3.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Ada-Nicodemou-6.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Ada-Nicodemou-7.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Adele-Silva-3.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Adele-Silva-4.jpg
thumbs/thumb.Adriana-Karembeu-1.jpg

Code (markup):

Using this script:

<?php

    foreach (glob("thumbs/*.jpg") as $dirname) {
        echo "$dirname<br />";
    }

?>

PHP:

Now I need to modify the above script to make it so I can pull out only the files with "Aaliyah" in it. Any ideas on how to do this?

 

<?php

    foreach (preg_grep('/aaliyah/i', glob("thumbs/*.jpg")) as $dirname) {
        echo "$dirname<br />";
    }

?>

PHP:

Untested but should work.

www.php.net/preg_grep


EDIT:

A better way could be using just glob though.

<?php

    foreach (glob("thumbs/*aaliyha*.jpg") as $dirname) {
        echo "$dirname<br />";
    }

?>

PHP:

(But it's not case-insensitive)

 

Thanks, I didn't even think of doing that with "glob" but it worked.

 

Just note that it might be case-sensitive on some systems. If it is, you can change all file names to lower case and it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
