Has this ever been fixed? Thank you.

This is a very tricky case because the glob pattern check against the open_basedir value obviously makes no sense. The implementation of the glob function is simply to - expand the pattern - iterate checking for basedir restriction on every item - discard result and return false if one of them was not within basedir What's going on in GlobIterator is to check the basedir against the pattern in __construct, that obviously will never work properly. Also, glob extends Filesystem iterator, only __construct() and count() methods are implemented. Two solutions come in my mind: - do the same teh glob() function does, do the work in construct and throw exception if one of the paths isn't allowed (but that means doing the work twice), so no go - impement the necessary methods in GlobIterator, like current(), next(), etc. .. this seems more plausible, however the situation where a value isn't within basedir, what would for instance current() return? false? ... Looks like a big behavior change anyway. Any ideas for a better fix? Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-20 19:04:02] ab@php.net Ok, inside destructor it reproducible for me on windows CLI, that's already something one can debug :) But the original snippet still doesn't fail that way. And trying DirectoryIterator at that play it works ... so most likely GlobIterator is broken somehow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-20 18:01:00] jamie at media32 dot ca I forgot to mention in my previous comment that I'm running PHP 5.4.14 on OSX Lion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
