Searching for a file if I only part of the name

[laredotornado@zipmail.com]

Hi,

Using PHP 4.4.4.

What is the easiest way to return the full path of a file if I know
the directory it is in and the beginning part of the file (it will
begin with the word "header")?

Thanks, - Dave

<?php
$dir = getcwd();
chdir('/path/to/you/dir');
$matches = glob('header*') ;
chdir($dir);
?>
