Bug #69628 glob() returns empty array on Windows 7, BUT not CentOS 6.7
Submitted: 2015-05-13 06:51 UTC Modified: 2015-05-13 23:16 UTC
From: russ at herballure dot com Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Filesystem function related
PHP Version: 5.6.8 OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
When using glob() on Win 7 64 PHP 5.6.8,
when using GLOB_BRACE with multiple brackets within the braces,
glob() returns an empty array even when files match.
This same function works as expected on PHP 5.3.10 on CentOS 6.7.

Test script:
---------------
$x = glob('D:\\Icons\\*.{[jJ][pP][gG],[gG][iI][fF]}', GLOB_BRACE);
var_dump($x);

/*
The target directory "D:\Icons\" contains these files:
image1.jpg
image2.GIF
image3.bmp
*/

Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=> "D:\Icons\image1.jpg"
  [1]=> "D:\Icons\image2.GIF
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(0) {
}

As it is now, all but the last pair of brackets within a braced
alternative is simply ignored on Windows. So

  glob('D:\\Icons\\*.{[jJ][pP][gG],[gG][iI][fF]}', GLOB_BRACE);
  
is actually treated like

  glob('D:\\Icons\\*.{[gG],[fF]}', GLOB_BRACE);
