Solution to garbled Chinese file names in PHP uploaded files_PHP Tutorial

Many friends may encounter some problems. When uploading files, if it is in English, the original text name will not be a problem. If it is in Chinese, garbled characters may appear. Today I will summarize for you the garbled PHP file uploads. Let’s look at the reasons and solutions for garbled Chinese file names.

I have installed XAMPP under windows in the past few days, and I am going to initially learn PHP-related content. I have been exposed to php uploading files in the past few days, but a frustrating problem has arisen. I am going to upload an excel file, but if the file name is a Chinese name, an error will be reported.

I was very depressed after going back and forth. Then I thought about it carefully and it should be a file encoding problem. The php file I wrote uses UTF-8 encoding. If I guessed correctly, APACHE should use GBK for processing (of course I can’t be sure now) , I hope experts can give me some advice). After thinking about this problem, I went to search for relevant tutorials and simply found the iconv function.

Function prototype: string iconv (string in_charset, string out_charset, string str)

Usage example: $content = iconv("GBK", "UTF-8", $content);

The purpose of this example is to convert $content from GBK to UTF-8 encoding.

In addition to solving the problem of garbled Chinese characters in uploaded files, we can also rename the uploaded files.
