Thread: UTF-8 characters for uploaded filenames

  1. #1

    UTF-8 characters for uploaded filenames

    As i know PHP on windows have problems with uploading files with unicode characters as file name. But the problem was solved after PHP 7.1
    I almost was sure there is no problem with linux server.

    I tested with a linux server and unfortunately it did not uploaded unicode characters correctly as file name.
    My linux server admin claims that, linux file system does not support UTF-8 characters as filename. PHP server version is 7.1
    Is that really right?

    Hello,

    What exact problems you have at the moment with filenames?

    Actually, utf-8 should work fine on linux

    Hello Rudi, It does not show uploaded UTF-8 file names correctly at the linux server. For example if i upload an image file name تست.jpg in farsi, it uploads like attach file

    Finally, i found the reason of the problem... Actually, there is no problem with file name. The problem is my ipswitch ws_FTP client app.
    I am using WS_FTP V12 for transfer and viewing my files in the server.
    It seems WS_FTP have problem to show file names with UTF-8 characters.
    I changed my FTP client to WinSCP app and it shows file names correctly.

    Thanks Rudi and everybody.
