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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-08-20 19:34:09] montdm at montdm dot shost dot ca Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.readdir --- The names of the files/directories on windows operating system are automatically encoding in windows-1252. 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
