unidox Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 if using utf-8, i think it only supports url names, as in if you visit a site with an accent mark on a letter, it converts it to the original letter.

MadTechie Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 What OS are you running ? Windows filesystems (FAT, FAT32, NTFS) are not UTF-8 aware. Filenames are encoded in ISO-8859-1 or CP437/CP850/( or whatever suits your language) depending on filesystem and localisation. Many distributions of Linux are by default setup with an UTF-8 filesystem, but not all.. really we need more info and some test data Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79352-php-encoding-uploading-with-greek-characters-on-the-filename/#findComment-401700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
