How can hidden files and directories be included in the results when using glob() in PHP?

By default, the glob() function in PHP does not include hidden files and directories (those starting with a dot) in the results. To include hidden files and directories, you can use the GLOB_BRACE flag along with the GLOB_MARK flag to include directories in the results. This will allow you to retrieve both visible and hidden files and directories.

$files = glob('.{*,}*', GLOB_BRACE | GLOB_MARK);
print_r($files);
