Undefined constant "GLOB_BRACE" with standalone server

[hockdudu]

When using the standalone binary server (https://github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/releases/tag/v1.0.3), I get the following error when using the GLOB_BRACE constsant:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "GLOB_BRACE" in /tmp/test-frankenphp/index.php:3 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /tmp/test-frankenphp/index.php on line 3

My example script:

<?php

$files = glob('{a,b,c}.txt', GLOB_BRACE);
var_dump($files);

Command:

frankenphp php-server --listen 127.0.0.1:8080

This error does not occur when using the Docker image dunglas/frankenphp:latest.

The PHP documentation states that GLOB_BRACE isn't available in some Linux systems like Alpine Linux.

I tried, and I'm able to reproduce this with the Docker image dunglas/frankenphp:latest-alpine.

Does that mean the server binary is based on Alpine Linux in some way?

[dunglas]

@hockdudu yes, the static binary is using the musl libc (as Alpine), which is known not to support GLOB_BRACE.

Thanks for the swift answer 😄

I may have missed it, but is this documented somewhere?

[dunglas]

In the musl docs IIRC, but it could be nice to add it in the "known issues" section of FrankenPHP docs! Would you mind to open a PR?
