Operating System: Windows 2000
PHP Version: 4.2.2
New Comment:
I'm still getting this error in PHP 4.3.8. Any chance of getting this
bug open again? There really needs to be something in the documentation
too. Like Duncan said it's a real problem for portable code.
Replacing / with \ in a URL will even screw up Firefox.

dirname() in windows works inconsistently.
dirname("/a/b") returns "/a"
but dirname("/") returns "\"
This makes writing portable code which will work on Unix and Windows
problematic.
I've looked at ext/standard/string.c and I think the fix would be to
replace all occurrences of DEFAULT_SLASH with "/"
