Get all file all subfolders and all hidden file with glob

Question

In my recurive function to zip a whole folders i have this piece of code glob($path. \'/*\') that give me all files and subfolders matching my $path.

Here I read

Answer 1

This returns hidden files and folders, but not . or ..:

glob($dir . '/{,.}*[!.]', GLOB_MARK | GLOB_BRACE);

Instead of Houmams answer does it return the valid filname ...file.ext as well.

Tested with $dir="test/" and the following files:

test/.hiddenfolder/
test/folder/
test/...file
test/...file.ext
test/.h
test/.hiddenfile
test/file
test/file.ext

Additional information
Houman tried to target . or .. with [!.,!..], but as this is a character class it is not possible to target strings with a defined length. This means [!.] and [!..] are identical and target both strings not containing an unlimited amount of dots (., .., ..., ...., etc.). Because of that I used [!.] only. Targeting strings is only possible with curly braces like {jpg,png}. You find a good explanation in the php.net comments.
