Doi, drive letters....

So yeah that can be worked around with a:

#ifdef PHP_WIN32
if (p = path+1 && isalpha(*path) && (*p == '/' || *p == '\\')) { /* win32
drive */ }
#endif

But then you've also got the ADS workaround:

#ifdef PHP_WIN32
{
  char *q;
  for(q = p + 1; isnum(*q); q++);
  if (!*q) { /* filename with ADS identifier */ }
}
#endif

And god knows what else for other platforms which give ':' meaning.  It
comes down to "How ugly does one want to get?".
