Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-12 16:21:18] flip101 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ file_exists and is_readable return false on windows when file exist but full path is longer than 258 characters. This seems related to MAX_PATH https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx#maxpath The best expected result would be just return true (see box expected result), then these functions should use the unicode version of the windows API. In case it's not desirable to use the unicode version of the windows API. Then the expected result would be generate PHP Warning. Now it just return a wrong result without notification.
