PHP上传的文件名：日语字符编码

Question

When uploading a file with a japanese name, some characters are creating problem. On a windows system, I want to save the name of the file as-uploaded. So I have to use mb_convert_encoding($name, "SJIS", "AUTO"); which works fine most of the cases.

Though, some characters like ① as in 0423図表① totally disappear at the end. It seems that when uploaded the name of the file is already "wrong": it looks like "0423å³è¡¨â .pptx" in UTF-8 and if I change the header charset with

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=SJIS');

it looks like

 "0423ﾃ･ﾂ崢ｳﾃｨﾂ｡ﾂｨﾃ｢ﾂ堕.pptx"

I am not sure what I can do in this case. I tried to replace the ① character but I cannot even find it with strpos() before or after the encoding conversion.

Answer 1

To qualify my answer (to the downvoter):

Q: I have heard that UTF-8 does not support some Japanese characters. Is this correct?

A: There is a lot of misinformation floating around about the support of Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) characters. The Unicode Standard supports all of the CJK characters from JIS X 0208, JIS X 0212, JIS X 0221, or JIS X 0213, for example, and many more. This is true no matter which encoding form of Unicode is used: UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32.

Unicode supports over 80,000 CJK characters right now, and work is underway to encode further additions. The International Standard ISO/IEC 10646 and the Unicode Standard are completely synchronized in repertoire and content. And that means that Unicode has the same repertoire as GB 18030, since that also is synchronized with ISO 10646 — although with a different ordering and byte format.

My Answer:

Rather than strpos use mb_stripos , from the PHP Multibyte string functions to find and replace characters. This should help your script detect and translate the non-latin characters.

If the uploaded file name ( $_FILES['var']['name'] ) is already incorrect in the PHP script ( from output such as print_r($_FILES) ) then you need to ensure you are correctly encoding the HTML form with accept-charset='UTF-8' (or SJIS, etc.). I would hope you're already well ahead of me on this.

Also it may be advisable to add a few preconditionals at the top of your code, again using the PHP mb_ functions add at the top of your PHP page:

mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8'); //or whatever character set works for you
mb_http_output('SJIS');
mb_http_input('UTF-8');
mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');
