    I wonder why you are creating such file names? With Russian letters in the names. - Visman
  • Are you sure that your system locale is UTF-8 (at least in Linux)? - Boris
  • @ Boris Well, they asked for support, locale c1251, but something doesn’t plow - Mikhail Khalupov
  • @ Mikhail Khalupov: do not plow even using iconv? or what exactly does not plow? - Boris

Use the iconv function. When creating a file, for example:

<?php $filename = @iconv("utf-8", "windows-1251", 'ИМЯ_ФАЙЛА_НА РУССКОМ'); file_put_contents($filename, 'КАКОЙ-ТО ТЕКСТ'); ?>

UPD: The final encoding may vary.

  • On linux also windows-1251 encoding is used? :) - Visman
  • It depends on the environment selected. More often not, but with a clumsy setting - yes. I have had several times, when ordering a VPS, that is cp1251 encoding ( - GrayHoax
