To properly diagnose the problem, we need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce this bug ourselves. A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>, is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

When using readdir, if you use international encoding utf-8, the specials characters like é in the files/directories are badly return by readdir. So you need to use a second fonction, mb_convert_encoding, to have the good name of the files/directories. I suggest to create a new function mb_readdir which will work like all mb_ functions on strings Best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72908&edit=1
