New Comment:
glob() works just like the underlying C function on which
it is based. If you do not like that complain to libc
developers.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. 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.

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
