realname on windows

Description (Last modified by weyrick) 

From my tests, the realpath() function does NOT operate the same as the equivalent PHP call on Windows. It doesn't return the correct capitalization.

For example, if the real name of a file is c:\test\filename.txt, but a user enters a relative path of ..\FILENAME.txt, the interpretted PHP realpath() function correctly returns "C:\test\filename.txt", but the Roadsend compiled php realpath() call incorrectly returns "C:\test\FILENAME.txt".

I need to have to exact real name and path returned.

fwiw, our realpath on windows doesn't do anything but turn relative paths into absolute paths, and maybe fixup the slashes a little.  It doesn't actually call any windows path functions.  So that's definitely a weakness. Although, if he cares that much about case of filenames in a program on windows, he's doing something wrong, because windows doesn't care that much.
