Can not make this work inside a php script.

Have tried several variations:
$cmd = "scp $user@stagingcws.$tld:$directory/\{$files} $tmp_dir/.";

$cmd = "scp $user@stagingcws.$tld:$directory/" . '{' . $files . '} ' . "$tmp_dir/.";

etc...

I can echo out the command and get a well formed command, i.e. one that will execute from a command prompt, but when I try to exec() $cmd from within the script the globbing is taken literally.
