is_dir() with non-english characters

In php, is_dir() function omits directories which contains non-english characters. ie. is_dir("C:\ekşi") is not directory according to the function but it is. Is there any开发者_JAVA百科 solutions to this case? Thanks

Sadly, this is no bug. Until PHP 6, no unicode caharcter support for this kind of operations.
