I was unable to replicate the error in 1.5_STABLE. From looking at the
glob() documentation ( http://php.net/glob ) I note that the glob
function is meant to just return an empty array if it can't find
anything, or false on error. So, it's possible that some environments
may be causing glob to error out, and the code isn't handling that
properly.
There's also this: "Note: On some systems it is impossible to
distinguish between empty match and an error. "
It's unclear whether that means that an empty match returns false, or
whether it means that an error returns an empty array. But the return
value that Jan noted (nearly 1 year ago today) is what you get when you
cast boolean false as an array:
var_dump((array) false);
array(1) {
[0]=>
bool(false)
}

Title:
Unable to read language directory
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Triaged
Bug description:
Running Mahara 1.5 here. No relation to system or PHP version I guess.
On page:
admin/users/pendingregistrations.php
I get this error:
Unable to read language directory lang [full log appended but not
necessary]
which is because in lib/mahara.php on line 596 (+/- 5 lines)
$datarootpaths = (array)glob(get_config('dataroot') . 'langpacks/*',
GLOB_MARK | GLOB_ONLYDIR);
assign array(0 => false) to $datarootpaths
My 3 line patch goes directly below that line and looks like this:
foreach($datarootpaths as $key => $path)
if(!is_string($path))
unset($datarootpaths[$key]);
