#33047 [NEW]: glob() doesn't work inside directories with brackets [ ]

From: wiseman1024 at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.9 PHP Bug Type: Directory function related Bug description: glob() doesn't work inside directories with brackets [ ] Description: ------------ glob() won't work (with any pattern and options whatsoever) when one directory in the current working path has matching brackets [ and ] with characters between the brackets. This means glob() will fail if the current working directory is one of: C:\php\[hello] C:\php\[hello]\hello C:\php\xxx[hello]xxx C:\php\[hello][ It will work, for example, if the current working directory is one of: C:\php C:\php\[hello C:\php\hello] C:\php\hello[] This seems to be a problem when using regular expressions in the implementation of glob. Reproduce code: --------------- /* Returns a list of files and directories, unless inside a directory with something between brackets*/ print_r(glob('*',FALSE)); Expected result: ---------------- Should always return an array with the files (assuming there are files in the current directory) Actual result: -------------- Nothing, because glob() returned false -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33047&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=33047&r=mysqlcfg
