At least "//server/share/filename/" had been working starting from
4.1.0 while '\\server\share\filename' didn't for quite a long time
(until 4.2.0?).
If you want to write cross plattform code it's not a bad idea to rely
on php's auto conversion of slashes to backslashes in file paths on
windows platforms.

I partially agree. I agree that it's incorrect. But the correct way
should be '\\computername\share\filename' in plings, or
"\\\\computername\\share\\filename" in quotes, as you said.
I don't think the manual should read \\\\ (escaped backslashes) unless
it is writtenly-quoted, to avoid misunderstanding.

Manual\function.file-exists.html
Error in manual page?

"On windows, use //computername/share/filename or
\\\\computername\share\filename"

Obviously wrong - shouldn't that read:

"On windows, use //computername/share/filename or
\\\\computername\\share\\filename"
