RES: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] [PHP MapScript] Problem with ms_newShapefileObj and path with special characters

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

It worked fine for me. Here what I did. Note that I also escaped the 
':'. I used 4.6 on RedHat 9.

$ cd /home/test/
$ mkdir Hiro´s_Test/
$ cd Hiro´s_Test/
$ mkdir Teste\(blablabla\:\)_\)
$ cd Teste\(blablabla\:\)_\)/
$ ls
$ pwd
/home/test/Hiro´s_Test/Teste(blablabla:)_)

### Here I ran the following script
###   dl("php_mapscript.so");
### 
ms_newShapefileObj("/home/test/Hiro´s_Test/Teste(blablabla:)_)/datatesteShapeFile",MS_SHP_POLYGON);
###   exit;

$ ls
datatesteShapeFile.shp  datatesteShapeFile.shx
