No.
unlink() is a thin veneer on the system unlink() call.
Wildcard expansion like you have it is done by a shell glob function. You
would need to replicate what the shell does - use it as a regular
expression in an opendir()/readdir()/delete file on regexp
match/closedir() set of operations.
Or, preferably, look up the glob() function in PHP and use the return
values in an unlink() call. Much better than spawning a shell process
;^)
