I'm using Korean Windows7 and failed to print japanese characters. But my system could print Korean, special letters(like ☆), and the characters that are used in both Korean and Japanese. For example, 靑 is used in Korean and 青 is used in Japanese. Then my system prints only the former. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-04 12:45:52] martin dot keckeis1 at gmail dot com Its a problem in PHP general. This could have been solved with PHP 6.0 (general multibyte support). There are some workarounds in the internet with the windows console. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-07 00:08:23] spidgorny at gmail dot com Same problem (files with question marks) with Russian files in PHP 5.3.0 on Windows 7. mb_convert_encoding() can't help converting question marks. Maybe DirectoryIterator will help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-29 18:13:24] onekamil at gmail dot com Hi, have the same problem and my solution is: using mb_convert_encoding. $open = opendir($path); foreach( $open as $value ) { $value = mb_convert_encoding($value, mb_detect_order($value), "UTF-8"); } If saving file to folder using urlencode. To view using urldecode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
