It doesn't on my Linux system
glob("../path/*"); shows files and dirs; foo.ext and dirs
Exactly the same as glob("../path/*.*"); I thought using just plain "*" would
ignore files; but, it doesn't.

I found the glob file for the GNU C Library and GLOB_ONLYDIR doesn't seem to be defined correctly, the file appears to rather old. I used the numerical value "8196" and it works fine. I'm a little reluctant to use the numerical value as I want my code to be generally universal. Maybe the numerical value is safer anyhow. What do you think?you might consider something like this: if (!defined('GLOB_ONLYDIR')) define('GLOB_ONLYDIR', 8196); I doubt that the numeric value will ever change btw.I can alternatively just filter out the files in a second step.that seems like a lesser solution.Al.............

Yet it seems to ignore the lack of ".*" and finds xxx.yyy. That's OK, I can delete the filesremember this is linux you are talking about, not windows. A '*' means anything, including a '.'This fails: print_r(glob('../*', GLOB_ONLYDIR));well, double check your php version, because this should be built in whit the version that you are running.And I get: "Warning: glob() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in foo" I can't find anything in the manual or when Googling. Anyone can explain this for me?
