AW: [PHP-WIN] + character in a command line argument From: Sven Schnitzke (Sven.Schnitzke <email protected>)
Date: 03/31/03

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.
