Search files question

From stackoverflow.

Consider using preg_replace_callback.

Use this regex: (images/([0-9]+)[^"]+")

Then, as the callback argument, use an anonymous function. Result:

You should be able to modify this to work for you.

PHP Code:

$output = preg_replace_callback(
    "(images/([0-9]+)[^\"]+\")",
    function($m) {
        // $m[1] is the number.
        $t = getTitleFromDatabase($m[1]); // do whatever you have to do to get the title
        return $m[0]." title=\"".$t."\"";
    },
    $input
); 


Give it a try.

OK I will I have also tried

PHP Code:

$files = glob($directory . '/*{' . $filter_name . '}*.{jpg,jpeg,png,gif,JPG,JPEG,PNG,GIF}', GLOB_BRACE); 


Seems to work what you think of that above? Because I need to search letters and numbers.

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
