Description:
------------
http://au2.php.net/glob 

on the manual page for glob(), it says that:

Returns an array containing the matched files/directories or FALSE on error

It would be useful to have a note here that if no files match, it returns an empty array rather than FALSE.

When I first read this, my interpretation was that no matching files would constitute an error.

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.
