ID: 49900 User updated by: wloske at yahoo dot de Reported By: wloske at yahoo dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: SPL related Operating System: Win XP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.11 New Comment: LOL ... I just figured that out myself ... stupid me ... I just should always use slash instead of backslash when typing paths ... Sorry guys ... I just made a fool out of myself ;) ... I am still laughing ... Is there a way to delete this piece of an "epic fail documentation" ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-16 13:35:50] colder@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. err, that's because \r is carriare return inside "" ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-16 13:21:38] wloske at yahoo dot de Description: ------------ The RecursiveIteratorIterator fails when the variable containing the path name to be traversed contains "root" anywhere. Scanning a directory containing a folder named root works though. 1. Try the code, nothing should happen. 2. Rename the directory to "woot" and adjust the $basedir variabel 3. Restart the code. You should see a result 4. Make a directory like test and a directory inside named "root" with some content in it. 5. Adjust $basedir to point to the parent of "root", e.g. "e:\test" 6. Restart. You should see the contents of test including the folder "root". 7. Adjust $basedir to point to "root" itself, e.g. "E:\test\root" 8. Restart. You should see nothing Reproduce code: --------------- $basedir = realpath("E:\root"); echo "<html><body><pre>"; foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($basedir, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::KEY_AS_PATHNAME), RecursiveIteratorIterator::CHILD_FIRST) as $file => $info) { if ($info->isDir()) { //Directory echo "Dir: ".$file."<br />"; } else { //File echo "File: ".$file."<br />"; } } echo "</pre></body><html>"; Expected result: ---------------- A list of directories in the given path. Actual result: -------------- Nothing. Neither a listing nor an error. Just plain silence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=49900&edit=1
