Description:
------------
Using the scandir() method to fetch a list of filenames in a folder. Some filenames contain a space (via SSH this appears as "\ ", i.e. "test\ file.txt"). However PHP sees this file as "test_file.txt". This causes additional file operations such as file_exists() to return false.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
\\ path/to/folder/ contents:
\\ file.txt
\\ test\ file.txt

$scan = scandir('path/to/folder/');

foreach ($scan as $file)
{
    echo $file.'
';
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
file.txt
test\ file.txt

Actual result:
--------------
file.txt
test_file.txt

Works fine for me using latest SVN 5.3 build:

daniel@daniel-laptop:~/tmp$ ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel daniel 0 2010-07-28 10:30 foo bar.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel daniel 0 2010-07-28 10:30 helloworld.txt
daniel@daniel-laptop:~/tmp$ php -r 'var_dump(scandir("."));'
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(1) "."
  [1]=>
  string(2) ".."
  [2]=>
  string(11) "foo bar.txt"
  [3]=>
  string(14) "helloworld.txt"
}

That's weird, it was doing it for me a second ago... and now it's not!! Sorry to waste your time, but thanks anyway.
