Bug #79733 [NEW]: glob doesn't work with backslashes on linux

From: david dot hlavati at gmail dot com Operating system: CentOS7 PHP version: 7.4.7 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:glob doesn't work with backslashes on linux Description: ------------ First: it's possible that it's a normal behavior and I just don't know about it. php 7.4.7 - maybe not version related backstory: So I would like to get a bunch of maintenance classes and initialize them dynamically and I'm using the glob function for this as it's written in the test script section. This works on windows 10, however it returns with nothing on CentOS7. Forward slashes are fine in both cases, but maybe conventionally it should work the same on both systems - again; it's maybe a normal behavior. And - this is actually absolutely irrelevant, but - the forward slash solution doesn't work for creating the classes dynamically - unless if I replace the slashes before creating the classes. File structure: The targeted classes I would like to locate with the glob function are here: common\\queue\\tasks\\maintenance\\ The script is running from here: common\\queue\\ Test script: --------------- ``` // maintenance classes are located here $path = 'common\\queue\\tasks\\maintenance\\'; // only for testing purpose I'll store the classes here $classes = []; // this script file is in this path: common\\queue\\whatever.php foreach (glob(__DIR__ . "\\..\\..\\{$path}*.php") as $location) { $maintenanceClass = $path . basename($location, '.php'); $classes[] = $maintenanceClass; // the line below is just an example as I would like to use this (new $maintenanceClass)->initTask(BaseModel::getConfig('maintenanceFrequency')); } print_r($classes, true); ``` Expected result: ---------------- for example - if these files are on the desired place place: Array ( [0] => common\queue\tasks\maintenance\ActivatorMaintenance [1] => common\queue\tasks\maintenance\CartMaintenance [2] => common\queue\tasks\maintenance\EventLogMaintenance ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( ) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79733&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=79733&r=mysqlcfg
