I haven't used the MKS toolkit, but here's an interesting test that might shed light:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
DIR=/tmp/test
rm -rf $DIR;  mkdir -p $DIR;  cd $DIR  ||  exit 1
touch "ab cd" "ef gh" "ij kl"

a=()
for f in *; do
    a[${#a[@]}]="$f"
done

for f in "${a[@]}"; do
    echo "$f"
done

These are the results I get when I run it:
Code:
ab cd
ef gh
ij kl

get_included_files - Returns an array with the names of included or required files

SYNOPSIS
array get_included_files (void ) DESCRIPTION
Gets the names of all files that have been included using include(3), include_once(3), require(3) or require_once(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an array of the names of all files. The script originally called is considered an "included file," so it will be listed together with the files referenced by include(3) and family. Files that are included or required multiple times only show up once in the returned array. EXAMPLES
Example #1 get_included_files(3) example <?php // This file is abc.php include 'test1.php'; include_once 'test2.php'; require 'test3.php'; require_once 'test4.php'; $included_files = get_included_files(); foreach ($included_files as $filename) { echo "$filename "; } ?> The above example will output: abc.php test1.php test2.php test3.php test4.php NOTES
Note Files included using the auto_prepend_file configuration directive are not included in the returned array. SEE ALSO
