Bug #64327 [NEW]: is_file, file_exists, is_readable fail on special characters

From: ashwini at majestik dot net Operating system: Windows Server 2003 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:is_file, file_exists, is_readable fail on special characters Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.is-file#refsect1-function.is-file-description --- The is_file, file_exists and is_readable functions fail in Windows even if the file actually does exist, if the file name contains a special character. This happens because of the encoding of the .php file itself that executes the is_file function, if the .php file is encoded with UTF-8 then the above commands incorrectly fail. If instead the .php file is encoded with "Western (Windows 1252)" then the file with the special character is found and is_file/file_exists/etc return correctly. Tested under IIS 6 w/ PHP 5.2.4 on Windows Server 2003. Test script: --------------- <? $my_picture="photos/fullsize/Djañgo.jpg"; if (is_file($my_picture)) { echo "picture found!"; } else { echo "picture NOT found! $my_picture"; } ?> -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64327&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64327&r=mysqlcfg
