fwrite wont make a new file if it contains a question mark? Options

[allenph]

So there is no need to post code because I know for a fact it works. It is weird I can do an fwrite of my new .php page and it will create a new file for me with !./,\ whatever puncuation you wan't...other than question marks. Kind of strange! anyone know why this is happening?

Unix allows almost any char in a file name. A couple have to be quoted. See http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linuxunix-rul...irectory-names/

Special characters (except _ and .) are considered VERY BAD FORM in a file or folder name.

Randomly making files with strange characters in the name is not a good way to test which work and don't work.
