redirects with * on the end....not working

Thanks, guys. I decided to go with glob because I was already using a switch statement, and it did in fact work, so that is great. Now im getting questions on why it worked, and frankly, I dont have a clear answer. It seems the glob command reads a filename more directly. not really sure. any explanations on why this worked??

anyway, the important thing is the site redirects now, thanks so much for both solutions.
