From: flconseil at yahoo dot fr Operating system: All PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: glob() problems
Description: ------------ Today, glob() calls the libc glob() function, with the following problems: - Possible inconsistencies between implementations (POSIX compliance) - fnmatch not available outside of Unix : an internal glob() implementation would bring an internal fnmatch() implementation, which would allow fnmatch() on every platform. - Important: on most (every ?) Unix systems, glob() is using stat() instead of lstat(). Thus, broken links are ignored. Inconsistant with a naive 'ls' which lists everything in the directory. - The current glob() implementation in PHP (ext/standard/dir.c) assumes that all returned matches are in the same directory, which is wrong. So, the 'safe mode' and 'open_basedir' checks are wrong. - glob() does not support streams, although most other directory functions support them. It cannot be done without implementing glob() internally. - Apart from glob(), the chdir() and getcwd() functions should also support stream-wrapped directories. It would be easy to implement but it must be synchronized with the support of stream wrapped paths in the include path.
