Hello,

I'm using "ApacheFriends XAMPP (basic package) version 1.6" (includes
php 5.2.6) on a Windows XP SP2 computer and experience the same problem
when installing "MediaWiki v 1.12.0" script.

It requires "diff3.exe" file, so I put it to "c:\Program Files\diff\"
folder and added the folder to "Path" environment variable. When I run
the MediaWiki installation script, it states "Diff3 not found". However,
if I put "diff3.exe" to "c:\Windows\", MediaWiki locates it and states
"Diff3 found at ...".

I've examined the code and it appears as file_exists() function returns
false if the path to the file contains spaces even if the path is
correct.

Description:
------------
I used the script below to generate a filename, and check if it already
exists useing file_exists (block 1). It generates the following output:
"File 'C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\aanleverwizard/temppics/e88d28551c277889a0b34b4b2135d348/pic0.png'
does not exist!". However, when I copy/paste this to the windows run
dialog, it actually is executed, so the file does exist!

I also tried replacing the file_exists function with a replacement
function (block 2), but that also doesn't work...

Reproduce code:
---------------
//BLOCK 1: REPRODUCE FILE_EXISTS BUG
$Teller = 0;
$TestFile = getcwd(). '/temppics/'. session_id(). '/pic'. $Teller.
'.png';
if (file_exists($TestFile)){
    echo('File \''. $TestFile. '\' exists!<BR>');
} else {
    echo('File \''. $TestFile. '\' does not exist!<BR>');
}
// BLOCK2: ALTERNATIVE TO FILE_EXISTS FUNCTION
	if (!function_exists('file_does_exist')){
		function file_does_exist($FileName){
			if (glob($FileName)){
				return true;
			} else return false;
		}
	}

Expected result:
----------------
I expect file_exists to return true, but it does not. I did verify that
the file does actually exist.

Actual result:
--------------
// see description.
