But you could even add a ? single char wildcard for true shell-like patterns *:

$needle = str_replace(array('*','?'),
array('###MANY###','###ONE###), $needle);
$regex = '/^'.preg_quote($needle,'/').'$/';
$regex = str_replace(array('###MANY###','###ONE###),
array('.*','.'), $regex);

* I know, modern shells have even more patterns, but these are the classic ones.
