note 117312 added to function.iconv

You can use iconv in order to access filenames or paths that containt Japanese (and probably also Koreans and Chinese) characters that would normally not be processed correctly by 'copy', 'fopen', 'rename', etc... <?PHP function convertPath($path) { //split networkpath into parts $parts = explode('\\',$path); // convert each part to SJIS foreach($parts as $index => $part) { $parts[$index] = iconv('UTF-8','SJIS//IGNORE',$part); } // put the network path back together return implode('\\',$parts); } $oldname = convertPath('c:/Temp/ほげほげ.pdf'); $newname = convertPath('\\\\PFSV0100\\DATA\\06：個人別\\333328_ほげほげ\\test_あいうえお.pdf'); copy($oldname, $newname); ?> Note that there are some characters which do not have a SJIS equivalent like '②'. They will be omitted by iconv without any error or warning. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 124.39.122.119 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117312 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117312 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117312 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
