AW: [PHP-WIN] + character in a command line argument

Hi, "+" is special to DOS at least with the copy command in that "copy a+b.txt" means: take file "a" and file "b.txt" and concatenate them giving file a. A file named "a+b.txt" is legal with windows but not with DOS. By the way, the treatment of + in filenames has been changed with PHP 4.3. Since then a+b.txt is one filename, quoted or not. -- Sven Schnitzke > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: mmy [SMTP:mmouly@wanadoo.fr] > Gesendet am: Sonntag, 30.
