ID: 65358 Updated by: paj...@php.net Reported by: rsk82 at live dot com Summary: php can't handle 8.3 names of files which have long names with unicode in them -Status: Duplicate +Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: Filesystem function related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.4.17 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This is not a duplicate bug of the unicode paths support. The problem here, in this exact (maybe other encoding could be affected but same cause then) issue, is that the CRT call FindFirstFileW instead of FindFirstFileA, despite that _UNICODE is defined. Patch on its way. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 17:13:15] rsk82 at live dot com Yes, but there are different things to add support for full fledged unicode names on windows and support only for shortened 8.3 dos paths that have no unicode chars in them. I thought that such names would by completely transparent to php like they are for 16 apps. This is not exact duplicate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 16:48:43] a...@php.net This the general issue with non 7-bit encoded filenames, so duplicate of bug #64699, see also bug #61315. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 11:12:52] rsk82 at live dot com Functions affected are not only fopen, but all, no matter if writing or reading the file. And I think it is and issue in all of the php versions in windows not only 5.4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-30 11:09:49] rsk82 at live dot com Description: ------------ I don't know if this is expected. I know that php can't handle international file names in Windows but shortened paths have no Unicode characters in them so I do not see any reason that php should have any problem with that. These paths are perfectly visible to 16bit win311 apps and such files are editable by those programs, of course them cannot see the correct name of the file but this doesn't count any problem with accessing their content. And if that I think php should have similar behavior here. Maybe the php's filesystem functions are trying to "do better" and translate such path to it's normal mode and subsequently are confused about what they have done. Test script: --------------- <? $FS = new \COM('Scripting.FileSystemObject', null, CP_UTF8); $FS->CreateTextFile("c:\\Îλλάδα.txt"); $ShortPath = $FS->GetFile("c:\\Îλλάδα.txt")->ShortPath; echo $ShortPath; $handle = fopen($ShortPath, 'w'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The script should run without any errors. Actual result: -------------- Warning: fopen(C:\BFEE~1.TXT): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\test.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65358&edit=1
