Description:
------------
the glob() function is not defined.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: glob() in /ifo.kt/test/htdocs/glob.php on line 4

Configuration:
Sun OS 5.10 SPARC 64bit
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.4.2 mod_perl/1.29
Configure Command:
'./configure' '--with-oci8-instant-client=/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.3/client/lib' '--enable-ftp'
'--enable-ssl' '--with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-bcmath'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-shmop' '--with-dom' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local'

It is my understanding, that the glob() function is available anytime after php 4.3 or so. It does work on php4.4 on a Sun 5.9 SPARC. Is there a special compile option required?

Reproduce code:
---------------
$files = glob("*.php");

foreach ($files as $filename)
{
   echo "<br>$filename size " . filesize($filename) . " kb";
}


Expected result:
----------------
index.php size 2367 kb
info.php size 317 kb
ll_test.php size 178 kb
logout.php size 576 kb
main.php size 1438 kb
todo.php size 882 kb
version.php size 2880 kb

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: glob() in /apache/htdocs/glob.php on line 4

No glob() in glibc -> no glob() in PHP.
Reclassified as docu problem.
 [2006-03-15 18:22 UTC] s dot manzari at icom dot de 
wow! thanks for the quick answer :-)
is glibc the same as glib found on sunfreeware.com and how do i determine whether it has glob in it.
final question: do i need to re-compile php after i update glibc or is it used dynamically?
 [2006-03-15 18:27 UTC] simp@php.net 
No, glib is not the same as glibc. Additionally I doubt SUN uses the GNU libc. Problem then being: SUN OS does not support glob() in its libc.

but it does work on a Sun 5.9 SPARC 64 with php 4.3.11?!

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.
