From: jtaal at eljakim dot nl Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.10 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: make require accept wildcards
Description: ------------ I have a series of classes in PHP 4.3, there is no autoload feature there so I named all my files "class.$className.inc.php". I created the class.inc.php file which require_onces all class.*.inc.php files. This works fine for files which are inside the same directory as class.*.inc.php BUT, when I include class.inc.php from another directory the `ls $wildcard` comes up empty, thus nothing is included. Wouldn't it be a good feature to have a require_once_wildcard which includes files. A problem that may rise is the includeSearchPath (in which directory should the wildcard be executed?). A solution is to execute only in the directory where the file resides which calls require_once_wildcard. My source for require_once_wildcard is in the Reproduce code field. Reproduce code: --------------- function require_once_wildcard($wildcard) { $ls = `ls $wildcard`; $ls = explode("\n", $ls); array_pop($ls); // strip last empty line print_r($ls); foreach ($ls as $inc) { require_once($inc); } } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32262&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32262&r=mysqlcfg
