Recently, I have been working on upgrading my php5.3 in my Windows servers. I have noticed that some of the includes are failing because the path name has \e for example : C:\epo\example.php and it thinks that "\e" is an escape code for ESC.

No issues in <= php-5.4.3

In php >= 5.4.4; I received the below:

<?php
require(C:\epo\example.php)
?>
Warning: require(C:←po\example.php): failed to open stream: In
valid argument in C:\php\db_connection.php on line 20

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:←po\example.php'

Test script:
---------------
<?php
require(C:\epo\example.php)
?>
