Searching if a file name begins with String and return results via PHP FTP

Examples:

awesome_dksd.php

awesome_dfkdde.php

dklf_dlsfd.php

Path to examples: public_html/folder/

How can I search in side of that ftp using php for the files that start with awesome_ I am able to connect via ftp_connect() I just cant find a function or any way to search inside a ftp for a file that begins with awesome_?

Thank you

you can try something similiar (tweak to taste and php version)

$ftpStream = ftp_connect (...);
// file listing
$files = ftp_nlist (  $ftpStream , string $directory );
// filters array with function that search position of string

$array = array_filter($array, function($value) {
    return !(strpos($value, 'awesome') > 0);
});

Regards.

Get a list of all files using ftp_nlist http://php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-nlist.php

// set up basic connection
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server);

// login with username and password
$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass);

// get contents of the current directory
$contents = ftp_nlist($conn_id, ".");

Then just loop over the $contents with foreach or use your favourite regex method to filter out anything that doesnt start with awesome_!
