Bug #54977 [NEW]: UTF-8 files and folder are not shown

From: Operating system: Window 7 PHP version: 5.2.17 Package: Filesystem function related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:UTF-8 files and folder are not shown Description: ------------ Listing the content of a directory using the standard php functions does not return any files or folders which have UTF-8 charcters. Windows 7 Supports Unicode "UCS-2LE" so you can create any folder / files like the following: (王 (king in Japanese) and 汚れて掘る (dirty dog on Japanese)). If you list the directory where you have these files you will get ?????, ?????. After a bit of investigation I've noticed that PHP internally treats any string literal in ISO8859-1. I've tried to change the default encoding to UTF-8 in the php.ini but IT DOES NOT WORK. Test script: --------------- Create several UTF-8 folders using chinese or japanese character. List them using the standard php function opendir like: $myDirectory = opendir("."); // get each entry while($entryName = readdir($myDirectory)) { $dirArray[] = $entryName; } // close directory closedir($myDirectory); // count elements in array $indexCount = count($dirArray); Print ("$indexCount files<br>\n"); Notice that the UTF-8 encoded files are returned as ??????? Expected result: ---------------- It should return the full list of directoried including directories with UTF-8 encoded name Actual result: -------------- It only return folders which have a characters contained in IS08859-1 . -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54977&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54977&r=mysqlcfg
