Problem Reading File when Name contains "?"

Problem  Reading File when Name contains "?"

I am trying to access all of the files in a directory, using
$a=opendir($dir) ; while ($file=readdir($a)) and
$b=file_get_contents($dir."/".$file).  However, when $file contains
characters chr(63 or 164 or 186) $b is "".  I tried substituting each
of the characters chr(0 to 255) for a single chr(63) i.e. "?" in file
names but none of the resulting names created a value for $b other
than "".

How do I read these file contents?

I think this is a trouble that has to do with the file system you are using,
some file systems requires prepending  "\\?\" to the file name to be able to
get around it's normal file name checks.  I do suggest you try a POSIX files
system
