Description:
------------
The documentation for the glob() function says:

GLOB_MARK - Adds a slash to each item returned

This seems to be incorrect, since the GLOB_MARK flag actually adds a DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR to the returned items that are directories. Of course, what is currently described in the documentation would not make much sense anyway...

Tested with PHP 4.4.8 under vmlinuz 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.xs0.4.0.263xenU
Tested with PHP 5.2.5 under Windows Vista

Reproduce code:
---------------
glob("./*",GLOB_MARK)

Expected result:
----------------
array("./file.ext/","./directory.ext/")

Actual result:
--------------
array("./file.ext","./directory.ext/")

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
