Here's a definitive solution, which supports negative character classes and the four documented flags.

<?php

if (!function_exists('fnmatch')) {
define('FNM_PATHNAME', 1);
define('FNM_NOESCAPE', 2);
define('FNM_PERIOD', 4);
define('FNM_CASEFOLD', 16);

function
fnmatch($pattern, $string, $flags = 0) {
return
pcre_fnmatch($pattern, $string, $flags);
}
}

function
pcre_fnmatch($pattern, $string, $flags = 0) {
$modifiers = null;
$transforms = array(
'\*' => '.*',
'\?' => '.',
'\[\!' => '[^',
'\[' => '[',
'\]' => ']',
'\.' => '\.',
'\\' => '\\\\'
);

// Forward slash in string must be in pattern:
if ($flags & FNM_PATHNAME) {
$transforms['\*'] = '[^/]*';
}

// Back slash should not be escaped:
if ($flags & FNM_NOESCAPE) {
unset(
$transforms['\\']);
}

// Perform case insensitive match:
if ($flags & FNM_CASEFOLD) {
$modifiers .= 'i';
}

// Period at start must be the same as pattern:
if ($flags & FNM_PERIOD) {
if (
strpos($string, '.') === 0 && strpos($pattern, '.') !== 0) return false;
}

$pattern = '#^'
. strtr(preg_quote($pattern, '#'), $transforms)
.
'$#'
. $modifiers;

return (boolean)
preg_match($pattern, $string);
}

?>

This probably needs further testing, but it seems to function identically to the native fnmatch implementation.
