5.3 is not for new features. And as I said in my comment, there are
issues with this patch. So don't be too much disappointed :)

I'm very disappointed this wasn't added to PHP 5.3.4. I've been checking
daily since submitting this but the new version of PHP was just released
and my patch has been forgotten.
This code works perfectly (as far as I can tell) and fills a glaring
hole in the PHP filesystem API. All it needs is for somebody to decide
to add it to the source tree. Name the function whatever. I did the best
I could to learn the ins and outs of the PHP internals to integrate it
and provide it in an acceptable form. This is where someone (?) on IRC
told me to submit it.

That was what I was thinking too, something like sys_get_drives() or
sys_get_devices() was what I had in mind if someone one day was going to
port it so the name is consistent :)

Sorry Kalle, already looked at that a while back. Also the function name
and co is not that good. >> taking back :)

I'm re-assigning this one to me, I'll have a look and test of it doing
the weekend and commit it to trunk
Thanks for the contribution! :)

Thank you for the response (no, really, it took ages to figure out how
to submit this because I couldn't get the mailing lists to work).
My reasoning in the non-Windows implementation was that (like in Java)
it should provide a consistent way to traverse the entire file tree
without needing to know or care about the OS, whether it's Windows,
*n*x, or something completely alien. It also allows for hypothetical
future arrangements of filesystems (even if they are unlikely).
