Glob has a > directory only flag, may that feature can be used. One more argument for a PHP internal implementation of glob()/fnmatch(), as GLOB_ONLYDIR is not portable (probably not posix-compliant). We could also add a flag to exclude broken symbolic links, and globbing support in stream wrappers (would allow a syntax like wget's 'ftp://dir/*'). I have written a feature request listing glob()-related problems 6 months ago (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38022). If somebody is interested, it could be time to reactivate it (unfortunately, I won't have enough free time to work on it). Regards Francois
