Description
It seems escapeshellarg() strips off bytes which are >= 128 probably because they are not valid UTF-8 characters.
Because it's not possible to provide an encoding to escapeshellarg() and this behaviour is not documented I think it's a bug.
Also if this is expected behaviour then which function could be used instead? There is no other function which could do this.
Please note that the code example runs on Linux only because Windows (probably) doesn't have the cat command. Also I tested this on Linux only. Also note it's not necessary to close the php tag.
<?php
$fname = "asdf.txt".chr(128);
file_put_contents($fname, "hey!");
$cmd = "cat ".escapeshellarg($fname);
echo "cmd: $cmd\n";
passthru($cmd);
Resulted in this output:
cmd: cat 'asdf.txt'
cat: asdf.txt: No such file or directory
But I expected this output instead:
cmd: cat 'asdf.txt'$'\200'
hey!
