在目录中的文件名中搜索php关键字并下载

Question

I have a list of files in a directory of some local path with names like APX-904-118000945-NMR-ETC with different extensions. For every file name a code exists, in this filename 118000945 , using which i want to search and download that file in php.

I am able to pass the code ie, 118000945 but unable to search for it and download with some piece of code got from web.

Could you help me out in writing a php script for this?

Consider using the symfony finder component

$idToFind = '118000945';

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()
    ->in('/path/to/dir')
    ->name(sprintf('*%s*', $idToFind));

foreach ($finder as $file) {
    $absoluteFilePath = $file->getRealPath();
    $fileNameWithExtension = $file->getRelativePathname();

    // ...
}
