SSH - Grep with special chars and * -

i'm looking search files via ssh grep command have special chars. string i'm looking is: "$globals['....'];"
tried one

grep -r -h "\$globals\\['*'\\]\;" /var/www/ 

but nothing happens. welcome.

your re matches "$globals['''''''];" 1 or more ' there. try one:

grep -rhp "[$]globals\['.*?']\;" file 

i use [$] instead of \$, because escape somehow tricky, environment need use \\\$.

update, less 10 chars inside []:

grep -rhp "[$]globals\['.{0,10}']\;" file
