"<br />"; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Whatever filenames that is in that folder I requested for Actual result: -------------- If there are chinese filenames, it'll display as question marks. Not sure about others. I tried reencoding/sending the proper headers too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41199&edit=1
