( SEE the below TABLE )
?>
Special characters to be used
* => Matches zero or more characters.
? => Matches exactly one character (any character).
[...] => Matches one character from a group of characters.
If the first character is !, matches any character not in the group.

0 | GLOB_MARK | ADDS A SLASH TO EACH DIRECTORY RETURNED | GLOB_MARK |
1 | GLOB_NOSORT | DOES NOT ORDER FILES | |
2 | GLOB_NOCHECK | THE SEARCH PATTERN IF NO FILES MATCHING IT WERE FOUND | |
3 | GLOB_NOESCAPE | DO NOT SHOW ESCAPE SEQUENCES | |
4 | GLOB_BRACE | SEQUENCES BETWEEN BRACKETS WILL BE EVALUATED | |
5 | GLOB_ONLYDIR | ONLY DIRECTORY ENTRIES WHICH MATCH THE PATTERN | |
6 | GLOB_ERR | STOP ON READ ERRORS, (LIKE UNREADABLE DIRECTORIES) BY DEFAULT ERRORS ARE IGNORED |
