Windows文件和PHP编码UTF-8

Question

I have some problems with UTF-8 encoding in Windows Server.

With the session var: $_SESSION['share'] = '\\\\server\\share\\almodóvar';

I read this one, the result is \\\\server\\share\\amod var and this works in a scandir with no problem.

The result of mb_detect_encoding($_SESSION['share']); is UTF-8.

But, then if I refresh the page and I read the session var, the result is \\\\server\\share\\amod?var and the scandir doesn't work anymore.

The result of mb_detect_encoding($_SESSION['share']); is ASCII.

I already tried some php functions like utf8_encode() and others but this doesn't work.

Can you help me?

PS: I don't know if it can help, but I'm using Joomla CMS. I don't think that'sthe problem.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The problem was that my Joomla CMS corrupts in my opinion the PHP SESSIONS and they have their own sessions who work very well.

Into Joomla, they have JSESSIONS. I let you their code for the sessions if someone is loocking for the same problem.

This is the Joomla Sessions (they avoid the most of the encoding and web server problems, etc):

Solution: Replace session_start(); in your external script with

define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../..' ));

require_once ( JPATH_BASE. '/includes/defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE. '/includes/framework.php' );
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();

Be sure to change JPATH_BASE to suit your directory structure.

Replace the $_SESSION[ 'name' ] = "value"; in your external script with

$session = JFactory::getSession();
$session->set('name', "value");

Now you can retrieve this session variable using:

$session = JFactory::getSession();
echo $session->get('name');

I hope this is going to help anyone.
