The full filename of the romanized file is /myfolder/roman_filename.txt. The basename of the romanized file is roman_filename.txt. The full filename of the Japanese file is /myfolder/日本語のファイル名.txt. The basename of the Japanese file is 日本語のファイル名.txt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-06 20:46:30] ion at 66 dot ru we want to use many locales and we don't know locale of filename before user add file. how we can use this filenames without transliteration? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-11 00:19:45] cataphract@php.net For better or worse, basename is affected by the locale. The encoding used in the filenames must match the set locale. Bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-10 22:23:10] chx@php.net I am reopening this as PHP 6 is not developed any more and the bug is still valid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-08 06:37:11] derick@php.net Won't fix in PHP 5. This will be implemented for PHP 6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
