 Description:
------------
Hello, something strange is happening with the document() XSL function, and long directory (+8 characters) names.
Scenarios:
- Passing a non-existent file path to document() (no long names): 
   Warning issued ("failed to load external entity")
   (Normal behaviour)
- Passing an existent or non-existent file path to document() , using long names:
   No warning, and, if the file exists, nothing is fetched.
- Passing an existent file path to document, using MSDOS equivalent to long names:
   Everything works as it should.Warning, or success.
   
This is, i have to change:
"C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/test.xml"
to
"C:/Archiv~1/Apache~1/Apache/htdocs/test.xml"
to make it work.
Havent tested if the problem is still there if is the xml filename the one with long name.
Following is the reproduce code:
Reproduce code:
---------------
/* PHP FILE.The path should be changed as needed.There are two lines, one with long and other with short names. */
<?
  $xml='<?xml version="1.0"?><b></b>';
  $xsl='<?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >'.
       '<xsl:template match="/">'.
      // '<xsl:copy-of select="document(\'C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/test.xml\')" />'.
       '<xsl:copy-of select="document(\'c:/Archiv~1/Apache~1/Apache/htdocs/test.xml\')" />'.
      '</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>';
       
  $xmlDoc=new DOMDocument();
  $xmlDoc->loadXML($xml);
  $xslDoc=new DOMDocument();
  $xslDoc->loadXML($xsl);
  $proc = new XSLTProcessor;   
  $proc->importStyleSheet($xslDoc); // attach the xsl rules   
  echo $proc->transformToXML($xmlDoc)
?>
/* Sample test.xml (external entity).Could be whatever.*/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<z>
  <q>
  </q>
</z>
Expected result:
----------------
For clarity, i've not added xml headers.The expected result (using short names,it works):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<z>
  <q>
  </q>
</z>
Actual result:
--------------
When using long names...

Not a PHP issue. Must use URIs for paths Use the following or it tries to build a relative path: document(\'file:///'.rawurlencode("C:/Archivos de programa/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/test.xml").'\')
