Web Server : Apache 1.3.9 (win32)

Reproduce :

On a Windows NT box with PHP and Apache, create a page the calls the file_exists func on a known machine\share\file

You will need to create a share on that machine or another.

For example :

if (file_exists("\\\\machine\\share\\fred.txt") {
  echo "Exists<BR>";
} else {
  echo "Does not Exist<BR>";
}

The file_exists function will always return false.

The function works fine with drive letter associations, but not for UNC notation on win32.
