Old Summary: file_exists doesn't work properly with variables
Status: Open
Bug Type: Any
Operating System: Win 95
PHP Version: 4.0.5
New Comment:
I cannot reproduce this under Windows 2000 with PHP 4.0.6
Do you get the same error if you use a literal value instead of a variable.
ie.
var_dump (file_exists ("c:/some_random_file_name"));
or
var_dump (file_exists ("c:\\some_random_file_name"));

The following won't work in Win95:
$path="c:/test.bat";
if(file_exists($path)) {print "file $path exists"}
This will report a file existing even though it doesn't. You might think that this is
because we are using forwardslashes in windows BUT IF you then parse $path to replace
the forwardslashes with backslashes (using a regular expression) it still doesn't
work. BUT if you do this:
$path="\"".$path."\"";
(leaving $path with forward slashes) it does work properly.
I suppose this is a bug?
