One liner for finding a file

[D. Alvarado]

Hello, Does anyone have a PHP 4 one-liner (or two-liner) for extracing
a file from a directory in which I know the word "footer" is
guaranteed to be in the file name, I know the precise directory to
search, and I am assured that at most one file will match this
description. I am looking to get the complete path to this file.

Thanks in advance, - Dave

You can always execute an OS command. So you can say in Linux:
$a = `ls *footer*`;
