When I give $path as an argument to glob($path), it returns an empty array. When I give it to scandir($path), it returns all the files in that path. Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.glob --- Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => . [1] => .. [2] => authtest [3] => globtest.php [4] => globtest.php.LCK [5] => globtest2.php [6] => home.php.LCK ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48365&edit=1
