note 113773 added to function.scandir

Care needed going from PHP 5.3 to 5.4, as the constant SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING is only defined from 5.4. I had previously been using literal, i.e. scandir($targetDir,2) in 5.3, but this did not give desired result in 5.4 (Ascending is default). However when I used SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING which is not defined in 5.3, on my web host (still on 5.3) I got error - second argument assumed to be a string. My solution (very primitive): $sort_desc = defined('SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING') ? SCANDIR_SORT_DESCENDING : 2; $infiles = scandir($targetDir, $sort_desc); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 95.147.218.228 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113773 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113773 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113773 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
