Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-10 10:54:57] spud at nothingness dot org Description: ------------ On a standard form upload, if the user uploads a file with a name like "épice.jpg" (with an acute accent on the e), PHP reports the $_FILES[0]['name'] as "foo_e", dropping the accent and ALL following characters, including the suffix. I understand the perhaps the file upload can't handle the accented characters, but it seems incorrect to strip off the rest of the filename, including characters that are still legitimate. I don't know if this is a PHP bug or not, but it seems very limiting for non-English file uploads, where accented characters in a filename are common. Reproduce code: --------------- Example: with a page like <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body> <form action="test.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="upload"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> <? if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { print_r($_FILES); } ?> upload a file named "épice.jpg", and PHP will report the filename as "e". Expected result: ---------------- I expect $_FILES[0]['name'] to be "épice.jpg", or at least "epice.jpg". Actual result: -------------- Filename reported as "e". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25004&edit=1
