note 106212 added to function.glob

Using glob for counting file name is taking much longer time and more resources. Even though it's short one line of code to count file, but using for loop Tested on http://www.meo.vn these 2 code for counting cache files $glob = glob(CACHEPATH . "*.dat"); if ($glob) $count = count($glob); AND if ($handle = @opendir(CACHEPATH)) { while ($file = readdir($handle)) { if ($file != '.' && $file != '..') { $count++; } } closedir($handle); } RESULT Only 1 file in that directory glob took about 5 seconds to return readdir took 1 second ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 117.6.129.73 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.glob.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106212 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106212 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106212 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
