Hi guys,
With new namespace inclusions, standards group releasing a common
autoloader, etc, I'm felling the necessity of something.
Basically, I'm suggesting to follow the same way SplFileInfo does,
with a few difference.
Currently, SplFileInfo is include_path aware with anything defined.
DirectoryIterator is not include_path aware, and trying something like:
$dirIterator = new DirectoryIterator('Zend/Form/Element');
Will raise an UnexpectedValueException. Looking at constructor
prototype, we have this:
DirectoryIterator::__construct(string $path);
My suggesting is to add support to include_path just like fopen
already have, which is through a flag. So the prototype would be:
DirectoryIterator::__construct(string $path [, bool $include_path = false]);
Possibly including the getRealPath() method too.
So, what do you think? I'm just suggesting to make the support
compatible between files and directories.
Also, I have a special need for this feature.
Cheers,

Maybe instead of adding this parameter one-by-one to every function
doing anything with files, we should have just one function that
resolves path against include path? stream_resolve_include_path() sounds
like a good candidate, not sure if it also does directories.

Yes, but stream_resolve_include_path() works only for files and also
it's PHP6 only. =(

Should be quite simple to merge to other branches if anybody really
cares. Doesn't look like anybody cared from the time 5.3 came up until
at least now :-)
In general I don't like this include path magic as it's not really clear
what happens, with the include_path flag set the iterator for instance
might iterate over all matching directories in all include paths.
