PHP Arabic Filenames Problem

[daredevil14]

Hello,

When trying to upload a file with PHP through an HTML form, if it is an english named file, then everything is fine... but if it is arabic named, then i wont get for example : upload/arabic_name.mp3

The filename of the file in upload/ will look like : ?&?&&&??...

Please note that i tried to echo the uploaded file before and after "move_upload_file", and it was printed correctly ( in arabic )... So i guess the problem is with : "move_uploaded_file" Function which moves the file that should be named in arabic and not ?&?&&&??

Any help ?

You should use UTF-8 encoding. Save files in UTF-8 and set UTF-8 in <meta />.

Well i already did that, and told you, the arabic content of the variable ( arabic filename ) is being printed correctly before and after "move_uploaded_file", but this moved file itself in the upload/ directory is not named correctly, instead it is named in strange characters... so ?
