Good afternoon. The secret of greatness is simple: do better work than
any other man in your field - and keep on doing it. Help me! Can not
find sites on the: Bet on sports income tax. I found only this - <a
href="http://abcs.tamu.edu/Members/BetOnSports/bet-gambling-sports";>bet
gambling sports</a>. Cortina was ended to have involved states on
chicago's west side and in its complicated seconds that were faced to
face things on online and selection game, connection and system games,
bet on sports. Bet on sports, high help jerrod johnson garnered the
23-yard in the second year, providing two betting odds on three tons,
with a new information by making standard keondra smith. ;-) Thanks in
advance. Muna from Zaire.

Description:
------------
Hello.

(I was required to pick a version, but that is not really relevant).

This issue extends from a bug/feature of the Windows command shell
executable (cmd.exe) which only allows a single set of double quotes to
be used when being used with the /C option.

e.g.

<?php
// Fine
exec('"C:\Program Files\Some Dir\Some Program" C:\somefile.txt');
// Not fine
exec('"C:\Program Files\Some Dir\Some Program" "C:\some file with a
space in the name.txt"');
?>

You get an error which is the same at the command prompt.

These work (the parameter is useless).

C:\windows\system32\calc.exe 123
"C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" 123
C:\windows\system32\calc.exe "123"
"C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" "123"
cmd /c C:\windows\system32\calc.exe 123
cmd /c "C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" 123
cmd /c C:\windows\system32\calc.exe "123"

But this doesn't work at the command line.

cmd /c "C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" "123"

You get the error ...

'C:\windows\system32\calc.exe" "123' is not recognized as an internal
or external command, operable program or batch file.


So, whilst this isn't a PHP bug, PHP could certainly help get around
the problem.


My proposal is to either extend the PHP function realpath() to allow
for a boolean parameter to indicate the short name is to be returned.

e.g.

string realpath ( string path [, boolean return_short_name] )

or to introduce 2 new functions

string shortname ( string longname )
string longname ( string shortname )


In addition, extending the SPL to have a getShortName() method.



To get the shortname within MS VC++, there is a function called
GetShortPathName(). There is also GetLongPathName().

References to these functions can be found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/getshortpathname.asp

and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/getlongpathname.asp

DWORD GetShortPathName(
  LPCTSTR lpszLongPath,
  LPTSTR lpszShortPath,
  DWORD cchBuffer
);

DWORD GetLongPathName(
  LPCTSTR lpszShortPath,
  LPTSTR lpszLongPath,
  DWORD cchBuffer
);


With the shortname() function, a filename like ...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\osql.exe

would become ...

C:\PROGRA~1\MI6841~1\80\TOOLS\BINN\OSQL.EXE

The name supplied is system dependent. I have a LOT of directories in
"C:\Program Files" starting with Microsoft.

23/02/2005  12:02    <DIR>          MICROS~1.NET Microsoft.NET


In terms of impact, making 2 new functions which are Windows only would
probably be easier.
