If you have open_basedir set in php.ini to limit which files php can execute, glob(...) will return
false when there are no matching files. If open_basedir is not set, the very same code will return
an empty array in the same situation.
This is unfortunate as a seemingly innocuous change causes different functionality that breaks code
like:
foreach(glob("*.ext") as $file)
...
