Behaviour of glob function in php is different with open_basedir



I migrate from sugar 5.2 to sugar crm 6.2 and i'm using open_basedir and it doesn't work ...





I detected the problem in the code. It's the function glob which returns false (with open_basedir) instead of an blank array (with open basedir disactivated)





The file with the problem is modules/ModuleBuilder/parsers/views/History.php line 72.







foreach (glob($this->getFileByTimestamp('*')) as $filename)

{

if(preg_match('/(\d+)$/', $filename, $match)) {

$this->_list [] = $match[1];

}

}







(if glob return null, there is an error)





When I look for the documentation of glob http://fr2.php.net/glob , there is a flag *GLOB_ERR* : Stop on read errors (like unreadable directories), by default errors are ignored.





But it doesn't change, the result is false and I've no error.





The configuration of open base dir allow the application path, /tmp and /usr/share





Does someone know how to resolve that problem without modify the code (or how to add an upgrade safe code)





Edit





The path looked by the glob function is located within the path of the open basedir, it's in the sugarcrm directory. The glob function only return false when there is no matching file (behaviour without open base dir for the same case : blank array). When there are files in both case it will return a populated array.

  1. Read about this bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47358

    Possible solution is

    $temp = glob($this->getFileByTimestamp('*'));
    if (is_array($temp))
    foreach ($temp as $filename)
    {
    if(preg_match('/(\d+)$/', $filename, $match)) {
    $this->_list [] = $match[1];
    }
    }

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
