I know that. FreePascal must be doing the same.
But in much older FP it works, in php don't.

No, php doens't work with short paths that are leading
to unicode long versions though these short paths do
not have any unicode chars in them. And that is the puzzle.
I think php filesystem functions try to do a little more than
they can handle with short paths.

The code is provided in this thread and in my (dismissed)
bug report.
<?
$FS = new \COM('Scripting.FileSystemObject', null, CP_UTF8);
$FS->CreateTextFile("c:\\Ελλάδα.txt");
$ShortPath = $FS->GetFile("c:\\Ελλάδα.txt")->ShortPath;
echo $ShortPath;
$handle = fopen($ShortPath, 'w');
?>
Here the file is created trough COM as it is stated in source code.
The com object isn't having any problem with translation from utf
to encoding used with windows file systems.

So this should be trivial to change in php's source code.
