Description:
------------
When I ran a script it chopped the "\" plus the first letter of a directory when processing some copy commands.  I looked at the script, and I think maybe the problem had something to do with the "explode" function.  I apologize for not being able to be more certain of this, but I am not a coder.

Reproduce code:
---------------
		// create dirs for processing the file (server)
		if ( $this->move_method == 'copy')
		{
			$dir_path = '' ;
			$splitarray = explode('/', $copy_path) ;
			for ($idir=0; $idir<count($splitarray); $idir++)
			{
				$dir_path .= trim($splitarray[$idir]) ;
				// don't bother making ../  ;-)
				if ($splitarray[$idir] == '..')
				{
					// do nothing
				}
				else if (!file_exists($dir_path))
				{
					// use the mkdir command
					mkdir($dir_path, 0777);
					chmod($dir_path, 0777);
				}

				$dir_path .= '/' ;
			}
		}

Expected result:
----------------
It is supposed to copy a file from "directoryX" to "directoryY\newlocation".

Actual result:
--------------
An error because it actually tries to copy the file from "directoryX" to "directoryYewlocation".

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
