pathinfo returns an associative array, it does not allow an array as a parameter. See the docs: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php

Your glob will return an array with files.

path: The path to be parsed. options: If present, specifies a specific element to be returned; one of PATHINFO_DIRNAME, PATHINFO_BASENAME, PATHINFO_EXTENSION or PATHINFO_FILENAME.

If options is not specified, returns all available elements.
