The extension is in in lower case. folder is there, php files is
there, i dont know why it doesnt't want to go into the d:\test to find
them.

Thast one problem.

The other one is:

i made the code simpler by specifying the filename my self.

=========================
# get abs path to filename
src_f = 'd:\\test\\index.php'

# open php src file
print ( 'reading from %s' % src_f )
f = open(src_f, 'r')
src_data = f.read()		# read contents of PHP file
f.close()
=========================

but  although ti nwo finds the fiel i egt this error in 'cli':

D:\>aconvert.py
reading from d:\test\index.php
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\aconvert.py", line 16, in <module>
    src_data = f.read()         # read contents of PHP file
  File "C:\Python32\lib\encodings\cp1253.py", line 23, in decode
    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9f in position

Somethign with the damn encodings again!!
