Not Invented Here

There are other PHP ports of Ant-like pattern matching but most were either found to be incomplete, tied to actually walking a disk, or so heavily embedded into another larger project it was not feasible to use.

This implementation is purely string based and is based on the AntPathMatcher found in Spring.
