I considered this as bug since it has nothing o do with DB/HTML backslashing, and also took me a few hours to find out what the problem was. Test script: --------------- // To test, copy a single file called "America's Army.png" to the initial dir $filename = "America's Army.png"; if ( file_exists($filename) ) echo "found it"; else echo "bug"; Expected result: ---------------- found it Actual result: -------------- bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54422&edit=1
