php - SFTP remove files with wildcard characters -

i tried use phpseclib delete logs in sftp server.

codes simple:

$sftp = new net_sftp($host_name); $sftp->login($username, $password); // login successful $sftp->chdir('/somefolder'); if(!$sftp->delete('*.log')) {   $logger->error('cannot remove logs'); } 

the log shows "cannot remove logs".

however, use sftp command in shell, works :

$ sftp myusername@example.com password: (type in password) sftp> cd /somefolder sftp> rm *.log removing xxx.log removing yyy.log sftp> ls ( no more *.log ) sftp> exit 

does phpseclib delete function supports wildcard character ? if not, alternatives ?

not @ present no. guess $sftp->nlist() , preg_match on each row returned nlist. if matches delete it, otherwise keep it.
