Re: [PHP-WIN] php can't resolve 8.3 paths to unicode filenames, is that expected ?

I don't know. But it should be irrelevant since php interpreter doesn't see any of the
non-ascii chars when given short path.
But anyway... Greek and Cyrylic letters are in the 3 byte range ? I thought that only
applies to CKJ chars.

Ok, so can you look at this bug report and tell me it is really a duplicate:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65358
in the bugs marked as duplicate people tried to put non 7b chars actually
into php file handling functions while I do not.

Or there should be a new bug filled with precise statement that not all
shortened unicode paths are affected ?
