How does the PHP function glob() help in searching for files based on partial filenames in a directory?

The PHP function glob() allows you to search for files based on partial filenames in a directory by using wildcard characters such as * and ?. This function returns an array of file names that match the specified pattern. You can then iterate through the array to access and process the matching files. 

$files = glob('/path/to/directory/*partial_filename*');
foreach ($files as $file) {
    echo $file . PHP_EOL;
}
