Delete files in php with the same part of name

I learned that unlink in PHP will remove the files in your directory as:

      unlink(/usr/local/datas/APRIL_Delivery.txt)

But what if you want to remove all the files where the beginning of the file name is specific. For example APRIL:

       APRIL_Delivery_1.txt
       APRIL_Delivery_2.txt
       APRIL_Delivery_3.txt
       MAY_Delivery_3.txt

I want to remove all the files with APRIL month and keep the file with MAY month. And Now I'm here to get some ideas on how to do it.

Are there any suggestions for this? Any comments would be much appreciated :-)

Try this code:

$filename = 'prefix*.*'; //yourprefix
array_map('unlink', glob($filename));
