Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Qutiong php.net/basename 
 
"On Windows, both slash (/) and backslash (\) are used as 
directory separator character. In other environments, it is 
the forward slash (/)."

Sample. I'm upload file from windows to unix.

$_FILES[etc]['name'] contain path with backslash, but basename understand only forward slash.

Use
$imageName =& array_pop(split('/', strtr($_FILES['image']['name'], array('\\' => '/'))));
rather than
$imageName =& basename($_FILES['image']['name']);
wise choice?

On unix "\name\containing\slashes" is a perfectly valid *directory or file* name, so why do we have to force users not to use such names?
