#21597 [Fbk->Opn]: Glob doesn't seem to work as expected

ID: 21597 User updated by: lucphp@braziliantranslation.net Reported By: lucphp@braziliantranslation.net -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Windows ME PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Hi. getcwd() returns "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop Confirmed. Luciano ES Santos, SP - Brasil Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-25 08:40:42] hholzgra@php.net can you please verify that you are really in the directory you think you are using getcwd()? (I wrote glob() in the first place but have no Win system to play with) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-12 08:18:02] lucphp@braziliantranslation.net 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.
