Description:
------------
PHP doesn't use the Widechar/Unicode Win32 APIs for file/dir access
Reproduce code:
---------------
create a file or folder which has chars in it's name that are outside the code
page of the iis/appache user acount. eg, try sticking greek and russian and
chinese chars in one file name. now try and read/write/dirlist that file.
is this a real problem? yes. although the above example is a bit contrived this
is a problem for me. I guess I will have to write my own php extension to do
file handling as I'm not betting this will be fixed until php6?
Expected result:
----------------
for php on NT family to use the Widechar/Unicode funcs. ie, CreateFileW(...)
instead of CreateFileA(...)
Actual result:
--------------
n/a
