unlink - Remove files recursively with php - specific pattern only - PHP

Question

Searched through this site and tried some suggestions but no luck so far.

I have a bunch of files containing this string in the filename: " 2" for example: test 2.php or imagename 2.jpg

I want to remove all files that contain the " 2" string from root folder (/httpsdocs) and all subfolders.

Tried this:

foreach (glob("* 2.*") as $filename) {
    unlink($filename);

Answer 1

Have you tried something like that ?

public function removeFilesOnDirectory($path)
{

    $files = glob($path . '/*');
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        if(is_dir($file)) {
            $this->removeDirectory($file);
        } else {
            if (str_contains($file, '2' /* Your constraint */)) {
                unlink($file);
            }
        }
    }

    return;
}

Call this->removeDirectory(/* your path */);

Works for me, just testing it :)
