#28355 [Csd->Bgs]: glob wont error if dir is not readable

ID: 28355 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: trancer at trancer dot nl -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Directory function related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.6 Assigned To: hholzgra New Comment: The C library implementation of glob() does not distinguish between empty and non-readable directories (at least not on the unixoid systems i tested on) and so PHP glob() doesn't do it either. The previos 'fix' for this bud didn't actually change the functions behavior and is going to be reverted.

Glob wont return an error like 'permission denied' though alike other functions do. It would be nice to see that when glob() cant read the directory it will return an error or a notice. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); print_r(glob('*.png')); ?> The dir in which the png file was, was chmodded to 711 so apache only had execution rights. Expected result: ---------------- Warning: permission denied .... Array( ) Actual result: -------------- Array( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28355&edit=1
