$path = __DIR__ . '\Eugène.txt';
var_dump( PHP_VERSION, file_exists( $path ) );

Works on my Windows XP, PHP 5.4.8, *if* the PHP file is stored in ANSI
(="Windows") encoding. Doesn't work if stored in UTF8. So I suspect it's
an encoding issue: the accented character "è" is stored as \xE8 in the
file system, but if your script is UTF8, then your $path will contain
\xC3\xA8 instead. With an "explicit" $path = __DIR__ . "\Eug\xE8ne.txt"
it works when the script is UTF8.

Greetings,
Thomas
