i am pretty sure, that i use utf8 in the upload page. my framework is joomla and it uses utf8 when i download the uploaded file the umlauts are corrupted -> utf8 encoded so there is still the question why i need to encode it in php again. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-23 12:09:30] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you upload as latin1 it's stored as latin1, set your charsets properly in the upload page and it works as expected. (fyi: file_get_contents doesn't convert anything to anything, it's binary safe) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-10-23 11:17:55] nikitin at freshframes dot com Description: ------------ i upload a latin1 file to the debian server (move_uploaded_file) this file is stored in utf8 (using utf8 translation in putty shows me correct chars, using latin1 translation shows me the multibyte chars...) then i read the file into a var via file_get_contents and wonder why mb_check_encoding( var, "UTF-8" ) returns false. sending the var via browser to client with utf8 charset produces wrong data, so i probably have latin1 data in my var. now i use utf8_encode( var ) and everything works fine. what do i need to set to get utf8 data from file reads, or why do i need to encode it again? Reproduce code: --------------- move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][0], $file ); $data = file_get_contents( $file ); var_dump( array( mb_check_encoding( $data, "UTF-8" ), mb_check_encoding( utf8_encode( $data ), "UTF-8" ) ); Expected result: ---------------- [ true, true ] Actual result: -------------- [ false, true ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46370&edit=1
