A couple of notes: glob() handles symbolic filesystem links and resolves references to './', '../' nicely and handles an extra '/' character , at least on X-systems. e.g., glob("../*") will do next higher dir. This is good to use so warnings or errors show as "../foo" and not your system's full path. Several of the examples use a notation "*.*" when just plain "*" does the same thing. The "*.*" notation is misleading as it implies foo.ext will not be found with "*" because the "." is not present. Watch the flags must not be strings. They are defined constants. Thus, glob("../*", GLOB_ONLYDIR) works; glob("../*", "GLOB_ONLYDIR") does not. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 69.255.41.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73967 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73967 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73967 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
