Description:
------------
 If a symlink doesn't point to a existing file/dir, glob
overlooks it. I'm pretty sure this is a bug because glob
should return everything existing in the pattern. glob in
php 4.3.9 has the same bug.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

It is a bug in libc which implements glob(). PHP simply returns what the libc functions returns.
