Description:
------------
unlink() does not delete a file if the filename contains parenthesis, while functions like file_get_contents() work fine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$file = "c:/my file (4).txt";

unlink($file);

Expected result:
----------------
Expect file to be deleted.

Actual result:
--------------
File is not deleted.

Do you see any error messages with error_reporting(E_ALL)? If yes, please post all of them here.

Okay, I have no idea why, but both servers can delete files with parenthesis now. Please consider the issue as closed/bogus.
