Description:
------------
Basic functionality doesn't work because it seems as the GlobIterator might needs 
some changes to work with this commit: 
http://marc.info/?l=php-cvs&m=130188548616717

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$g = new \GlobIterator(__DIR__ . '/*');

do {
    $g->next();
} while($g->valid());

Expected result:
----------------
Empty output

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'LogicException' with message 'The parent 
constructor 
was not called: the object is in an invalid state ' in /private/tmp/x.php:6
Stack trace:
#0 /private/tmp/x.php(6): SplFileInfo->_bad_state_ex()

Not sure if this is the same issue, but I've experienced something very similar 
when extending SplFileObject (see Script 1 below). This might seem to be of very 
little importance, as no one would ever want to extend this class in that way. 
But with the introduction of traits this became a real problem, becouse using 
trait methods that share the same name with a SplFileObject method causes to 
throw the mentioned LogicException. This happens when the method is used in 
constructor prior to calling the parent constructor even if the trait method is 
aliased (see Script 2 below).


Script 1:
--------------
<?php

class MyFileObject extends \SplFileObject
{
    public function __construct($fname)
    {
        /**
         * This throws LogicException despite of that we have
	 * overloaded the getRealPath method making it independent
	 * of the object state.
         */
        $new_fname = $this->getRealPath();

        parent::__construct($fname);
    }

    public function getRealPath()
    {
        return '/tmp/foo.txt';
    }
}

$f1 = new MyFileObject(__FILE__);




Script 2
--------------
<?php

trait NewFileTrait
{
    public function getRealPath()
    {
        return __FILE__ . '.new';
    }
}

class MyFileObject extends \SplFileObject
{
    use NewFileTrait {

        /**
         * The method getRealPath is defined in SplFileObject,
         * so we'll use alias:
         */
        NewFileTrait::getRealPath as newFileGetRealPath;
    }

    public function __construct($fname)
    {
        /**
         * This throws LogicException despite using aliased method.
         * This should not be happening, as we are not using any
         * methods of the SplFileObject class, just the aliased method
         * of our trait which happens to share the same name with
         * a SplFileObject method.
         */
        $new_fname = $this->newFileGetRealPath();

        parent::__construct($new_fname);
    }
}

$f1 = new MyFileObject(__FILE__);

I can confirm what "[2012-03-19 21:24 UTC] maciej dot sz at gmail dot com" said 
in a more simplistic way. This class fails in my current version (PHP 5.3.14 
(cli) (built: Jun 19 2012 07:35:36)) on $this->touchLockFile(...)

As I really need $file before calling the parent constructor, I have no other 
option than making it static

<?php
/**
 * @author Iltar van der Berg <ivanderberg@hostnet.nl>
 */
class Lock extends \SplFileObject
{
  /**
   * @param string     $file_name
   * @param string     $open_mode
   * @param Filesystem $filesystem
   * @param string     $lock_directory
   */
  public function __construct($file_name, $open_mode = 'r', Filesystem 
$filesystem = null, $lock_directory = '/var/lock')
  {
    $filesystem = $filesystem ?: new Filesystem();
    $file = $this->touchLockFile($file_name, $lock_directory, $filesystem);
    parent::__construct($file, $open_mode);
  }

  /**
   * Returns true if the lock is placed, false if unable to
   *
   * @return boolean
   */
  public function lock()
  {
    return $this->flock(LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB);
  }

  /**
   * Returns true if the lock is released
   *
   * @return bool
   */
  public function release()
  {
    return $this->flock(LOCK_UN);
  }

  /**
   * Attempts to create a lock file for a given filename and directory
   * it will return a string if the file is touched
   *
   * @param  string     $file_name
   * @param  string     $lock_directory
   * @param  Filesystem $filesystem
   * @return string
   */
  private function touchLockFile($file_name, $lock_directory, Filesystem 
$filesystem)
  {
    $lock_file_path = explode('/', $file_name);
    $lock_file      = array_pop($path);

    $path = empty($lock_file_path)
      ? "$lock_directory/$lock_file"
      :  $lock_directory . implode('/', $lock_file_path);

    $lock_file = "$path/$lock_file.lock";

    if(!$filesystem->exists($path) || !is_dir($path)) {
      $filesystem->mkdir($path, 0733);
    }

    // some modes create this file already, but we force it in
    // that way the lock file always exists no matter what mode
    $filesystem->touch($lock_file);
    return $lock_file;
  }
}

I have same problem too.
OS: windows 7 x64, PHP 5.4.7 (built: Sep 12 2012 23:48:31).
I working with ZF2, when I trying to use phar-packed modules same error occured.
But in Ubuntu works fine.

I can confirm this unexpected result also for php54 and php55

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$path_to_files = sys_get_temp_dir();

// Next works as expected: no xml files found = no output
foreach (new GlobIterator($path_to_files . '/*.xml') as $fileinfo) {
    echo $fileinfo->getFilename() . "\n";
}

$it = new GlobIterator($path_to_files . '/*.xml');
// Expected result: count = 0
// Instead next line will crash php if no xml files are found
if ($it->count()) {
    // do something...
}

?>

SplFileObject checks on method invocation that the state is sane - it does not care whether or not you have it extended.

Whether or not this qualifies as a bug (I tend to say it isn't a flaw, because SplFileObject has it's responsibilities and if you extend from it, you're explicitly stating that your object comes with the same responsibilities, you can not lower the checks).

However, if you actually want to stub the file-object first, that must not stand in your way, it's easy to work-around, for example with a fake "data://" URI:

<?php
/*
 * File: test.php
 * Link: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55701
 */

class MyFileObject extends \SplFileObject
{
    public function __construct($file_name)
    {
        parent::__construct("data://,");

        $new_fname = $this->getRealPath();

        parent::__construct($file_name);
    }

    public function getRealPath()
    {
        return '/tmp/foo.txt';
    }
}

$f1 = new MyFileObject(__FILE__);

var_dump($f1->getBasename()); # string(8) "test.php"

Additionally I can not reproduce the original report:

-----------------------------------------------------
<?php

$g = new \GlobIterator(__DIR__ . '/*');

do {
    $g->next();
} while($g->valid());

----------------------------------------------------

Works flawlessly for me. Using 5.5.15
 [2016-01-11 16:24 UTC] pheagey at gmail dot com
Able to reproduce error in 5.5.6 on Ubuuntu 14.04

$iterator = new GlobIterator('./someDir/*');
$iterator->count();

Where 'someDir' has not contents.

Tested on PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 on OSX and Ubuntu. It fails the same on all of them.


<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

$g = new \GlobIterator('/tmp/*.txt');
echo('Before: '.$g->count()."\n");
foreach ($g as $f) {
}
echo('After : '.$g->count()."\n");


If the glob expression matches at least one file it throws the exception on the second call to count() (line 9). If it doesn't match then it throws on the first call to count() (line 6).

Not only count() throws the exception. All its methods do the same.

I can confirm this behavior with current master.

As hanskrentel already explained, this doesn't appear to be a bug.
Anyhow, it's not related to this very issue, so feel free to file
another ticket.
