I don't consider that a documentation problem but rather an engine bug
(?)

I've been able to reproduce this bug on PHP 4.3.10 with
magic_quotes_gpc = On.
It's *not* reproducible turning off magic_quotes_gpc,
because the array element containing the (original) file
name is preserved "intact" this way.
This bug seems to have been introduced in 4.3.10, and breaks
many document management systems that rely on
$_FILES['userfile']['name'] as the name of the file
uploaded, definitely forcing users to *not* use single
quotes in filename.
Do you plan to write a patch to fix this behaviour?

It may be only PHP4 specific, I do remember it working at one point
though using PHP4 a couple of months ago. I had written a file upload
script for one of my sites and I remember testing to see what types of
filenames it would support and the apostrophes worked fine then. It
wasn't until just recently that my host upgraded to 4.3.10 that I
started to notice the problem, now my script does not work as it used
to.

I can't reproduce this on PHP 5.0.2 with php.ini-dist, Apache 2 and
Windows. "lobo235's fam.jpg" becomes "lobo235\'s fam.jpg" or
"lobo235's
fam.jpg" with magic_quotes_gpc=Off.
Maybe it's PHP 4 specific.

Yeah, I agree... the documentation should mention this issue.
