The script example provided in the glob() function page does not work for me, running Windows ME. I tried this simpler test:
        $a = glob ("*.txt");
        print_r ($a);

... and I get an empty array.
Note that the script is in my c:/windows/desktop folder, and I have quite a few text files there.
And if I run:
        $a = glob ("../*.txt");
        print_r ($a);

... I get the correct listing. But since the script is run from c:/windows/desktop, glob ("../*.txt") should produce the listing of my desktop's parent directory, i.e. c:/windows, shouldn't it?

If I state the full path to my desktop, i.e. glob ("c:/windows/desktop/*.txt"), then it works. But that is annoying because whenever I move the script to another directory, I have to change the path manually.

I am using PHP as a scripting language, of course.
