ID: 28656 User updated by: phpbugs at atu dot cjb dot net Reported By: phpbugs at atu dot cjb dot net -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: GNU/Linux PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment:
"The glob() function searches for all the pathnames matching pattern according to the rules used by the shell. No tilde expansion or parameter substitution is done." This is from the manual page on php.net, but it is not correct. The example I gave has nothing at all to do with "ls", as iliaa suggested. It is "matching pattern according to the rules used by the shell", exactly as the description states. Go to a shell and type in the command I said: echo Dir/*/ That is pure shell wildcard expansion -- nothing to do with ls or any other shell command. Clearly globbing "*/" should not match "*" as it currently does, if the objective is to use standard UNIX wildcard expansion.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php glob() function returns the same output as the glob() libc function. The output of ls is something different and unrelated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-07 00:33:52] phpbugs at atu dot cjb dot net Description: ------------ A trailing forward slash is ignored by glob(), but is not with standard UNIX wildcard matching. ls -lp Dir drwx------ 2 raven users 48 Jun 6 15:26 CSS/ drwx------ 2 raven users 48 Jun 6 15:26 Extra/ drwx------ 2 raven users 48 Jun 6 15:26 Images/ -rw------- 1 raven users 0 Jun 6 15:26 Main.data -rw------- 1 raven users 0 Jun 6 15:26 index.php echo Dir/*/ Dir/CSS/ Dir/Extra/ Dir/Images/ Reproduce code: --------------- foreach (glob("Dir/*/") as $Dir) { echo "$Dir "; } Expected result: ---------------- Dir/CSS/ Dir/Extra/ Dir/Images/ Actual result: -------------- Dir/CSS/ Dir/Extra/ Dir/Images/ Dir/Main.data Dir/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28656&edit=1
