I read about glob() on php.net before I replied, but I believe now it's
registering. From what I understand glob works just like opendir() but does
everything all in just 1 function. so in your code I realize you passed the
variable $prefix into glob, along with the path to the files. This put the path
images/property_pics/ and each image name from glob into $prefix you then
assigne the value of $glob to $matches. Sound about right? :-)
