Delete a file which I only know the first part of the name in PHP

Question

I want to delete a file which I only know the first part of the name.

    unlink('./upload/nav_thumbs/project-'  .the rest);

'the rest' = can be anything. Only thing I got is that is has a .jpg extension

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

$possibleFiles = glob('./upload/nav_thumbs/project-*.jpg');
foreach ($possibleFiles as $file) {
    if (thisIsTheFileYouAreLookingFor($file)) {
        unlink($file);
    }
}
