Subject: php_win.exe crashes when in a directory with spaces
From: pechansky@hypervisual.com ("Rubem Pechansky")

Hi folks,

When working on a new WinBinder demo, I found out that php_win.exe (for PHP 
4, from PHP-GTK) crashes when called from a folder with spaces. For example, 
c:\PHP\myapp\php_win.exe runs fine, but c:\Program Files\myapp\php_win.exe 
consistently crashes. This can be a problem for Windows users since the 
applications path typically has a space.

More specifically, php.exe (AppVer: 4.3.9.9) crashes php4ts.dll at offset 
000BB8E4 with code 0xC0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION). I'm using the 
files from php-gtk-1.0.1a-win32.zip.

Interestingly, php.exe always runs perfectly, even on a directory with 
spaces (although it opens a DOS box, of course). Also, PHP 5 does not have 
this problem -- but in this case I'm using the file php-win.exe and the 
others that come with it.

Does anybody knows how to find (or build) a version of php_win.exe that 
won't crash?

Many thanks in advance,
