#21597 [NEW]: Glob doesn't seem to work as expected

From: lucphp@braziliantranslation.net Operating system: Windows ME PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug description: Glob doesn't seem to work as expected The script example provided in the glob() function page does not work for me, running Windows ME. I tried this simpler test: $a = glob ("*.txt"); print_r ($a); ... and I get an empty array. Note that the script is in my c:/windows/desktop folder, and I have quite a few text files there. And if I run: $a = glob ("../*.txt"); print_r ($a); ... I get the correct listing. But since the script is run from c:/windows/desktop, glob ("../*.txt") should produce the listing of my desktop's parent directory, i.e. c:/windows, shouldn't it? If I state the full path to my desktop, i.e. glob ("c:/windows/desktop/*.txt"), then it works. But that is annoying because whenever I move the script to another directory, I have to change the path manually. I am using PHP as a scripting language, of course.
