File-handling; Special Characters In Folder Names?
I am using rename() to move a file from one folder to another with php.It works fine with folders which don't have the swedish å ä ö characters involved.Is there any way around this? (except for changing the folder names to something without special chars)

Special Characters In File/folder Names On Linux; Rename Function Not Working?
I am using a function Rename() (php) to move some images from one folder to another. The destination folder has special characters in them.However, when doing this on the server I get the error that the folder isn't found with the name. And in that error, the folder names special characters are replaced with Squares: Warning: rename(../temp_images/668635375_1.jpg,../ad_images/B�tar/thumbs/668635375_1.jpg) [function.rename]: No such file or directory in /var/www/etc....

Regex For Names With Special Characters (Unicode)?
I have read about regex all day now, and still don't understand it properly. What i'm trying to do is validate a name, but the functions i can find for this on the internet only use [a-zA-Z], leaving characters out that i need to accept to.I basically need a regex that checks that the name is at least two words, and that it does not contain numbers or special characters like however the words can contain characters likeand so on...An example of an accepted name would be: " "André Svenson"An non-accepted name would be: "Hans", "H4nn3 Andersen" or "Martin Henriksen!"If it matters i use the javascript .match() function client side and want to use php's preg_replace() only "in negative" server side. (removing non-matching characters).But as the page from LightWing's answer suggests, i'm unable to find anything about unicode support for javascript, so i ended up with half a solution for the client side, just checking for at least two words and minimum 5 characters like this: if(name.match(/S+/g).length >= minWords && name.length >= 5) { //valid } An alternative would be to specify all the unicode characters as suggested in shifty's answer, which i might end up doing something like, along with the solution above, but it is a bit unpractical though.

Variable / Function / Class Names Using Special Characters?
I understand that the underscore _ is an acceptable character for naming variables / functions / classes etc. However I was wondering if there are any other special characters which can be used. I tested out a few with no luck and have assumed for a long time that there are not, however I figured I would see if anyone else knows for certain. This would be mostly for aesthetic purposes, however I imagine a special character naming convention would be useful when working with other developers to define value types etc.

DOMXpath->query() Returns Weird Characters When Source File Has Special Characters?
I am scraping HTML and XML information. When the HTML is queried with DOMXpath->query() weird characters are returned when there are special characters. For an example, the characters are returned when there is a ” character. I have the database collation set correctly, and that's not the problem. The sites I am scraping from have improper (unescaped) entities, and it seems that DOMXpath isn't flexible enough to capture these characters correctly. I don't want junk in my database.Is there a way to fix this, or should I just scrape things using a RegExp instead of using the DOMXpath. Wouldn't scraping with a RegExp be faster anyway? Would I avoid messed up characters if I do it this way? I want to see if there is a way to fix my problem before rewriting portions of my scripts.

Parsing Out A File Using Special Characters
I am creating a site where someone would enter data into a few text boxes, with the potential for them to be fairly long. I am therefore saving them into a text file instead of a database. With these, there is a potential for someone to use the enter key in these boxes, therefore making it very difficult to just parse it out by line. I am currently trying to figure out how to parse it by special characters (or groups of characters such as "%%$$%%" or something that noone would ever type, on purpose or by accident) I was wondering if there was a way to parse this out by these special characters, or if there was a way to save those line returns that the people enter as something other than a line return.

Sorting An Array Of Folder Names For Displaying The Content Of A Folder?
I have wrote a function for getting all the subfolders of a folder. It also has the option of going the an upper level and displaying the folders....much like a file manager but it works only for folders and has a restriction to not go upper than the base folder so to prevent users from browsing the entire hard disk. am returning the result as a json object to be put in a div. My problem is this: On my windows box (using wamp) the folder "Up one Level" is always displayed on top of the folder list. When I upload it on my website it doesn't display on top but somewhere in the middle. I have wrote a function ( fixArray($array) ) to correct this...but it doesn't seem to work. The entire solution for this feature is provided so please help to make it work and for others to benefit from it.Just to mention: there is nothing wrong in the JS code. JSON object is parsed in the order it is sent by the php file. function fixPath($path) { $path = str_replace('/../', '/', $path); $path = str_replace('/./', '/', $path); [code]...

PHP Handling Special Redirections
Id like to have my host redirect the user on special URLS, much like seen in wikipedia, i.e. www.wiki.com/AlbertEinstein, www.wiki.com/LeonardoDaVinci Ideally, Ill have this redirect url path in my database, wich is a db of several image galleries of various artists. Id like the user to access galleries with this ease, as typing www.galleries.com/LeonardoDaVinci to access Leonardo's gallery. (this is not my actual hostname). A friend of mine told me I should look up on ISAPI filters, and I did google and read some of it, but am a little lost on the proper procedures to achieve this functionality with PHP.

Javascript And Html : Automatically Generate The Html Code That Shows The Photos By Reading The File Names In The Photo Folder?
UPDATE:The php code worked perfectly on my PC (wamp server) but i've now uploaded it on a free webhost server and while the php part runs perfectly (it produces the array) the javascript function itself doesn't work cause there are no photos in the website when it's loaded. I tried to test it by putting in the function's first line an alert to see if it runs but never showed up. I think that the server for some reason doesn't realise that it is a javascript function because i also had in the getphotos.php this: window.onload = photos(); which appart from starting the photos function, shows a text. When i moved that line in js file and put the show text line first, it run showing the text but still no photos. END OF UPDATE:I want the site to automatically generate the html code that shows the photos by reading the file names in the photo folder, but i need also to use javascript. So I found through the web a solution with php generating javascript which than generates the html code I want and I think this is what I need. But... it doesn't work X_X. Firstly, here is the php/javascript(in getPhotos.php): <? header("content-type: text/javascript"); //This function gets the file names of all images in the current directory //and ouputs them as a JavaScript array[code].... This is it, and it doesn't work! I know I ask to much by just giving all the code and asking for help but i can't even think what's wrong,

Handling Case Of Field Names In Multiple Db's
(Bottom line: I think what I'm looking for is an easy way of changing the case of key values in an array.) I've got code that I'm trying to make agnostic about the underlying database system I'm using. That is, I want the code to work whether the underlying db is MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, etc. I'm using the PEAR DB package, and it's great for what I'm trying to do...except in one area. I get the returned row fields in an associative array, where the element key is the field name and the element value is the field value. The problem is that MS SQL returns field names in mixed case (actually, it returns the field names in the case the user used to define the field names in MS SQL in the first place), while Oracle returns the field names all caps. So, if I have the same db on MS SQL and on Oracle, I can't easily access the field values. For example: $row*=*$result->fetch_row(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC); Now, if I print_r($row), I see something like: Array*( ***[My_Id]*=*1; ***[Name]*=*"Fred Flintstone"; ) If I run this under an Oracle db, I might get this, instead: Array*( ***[MY_ID]*=*1; ***[NAME]*=*"Fred Flintstone"; ) So my code cannot say something such as: $id*=*$row["My_Id"]; That would work for the MS SQL version, but not for the Oracle version. I certainly don't want to say something like: if*($IsMsSql)*$id*=*$row["My_Id"]; else*$id*=*$row["MY_ID"]; I really don't have control of how the users define the case of their field names, otherwise I could tell them to upper-case them all the time. But that might not work, if a different set of db routines that DB uses returns field names in all lower case. I could do the following, but I'm not sure I want to take the efficiency hit (maybe it isn't so bad; I don't know): foreach*($row*as*$key*=>*$value)*{ ***$row*[strtoupper($key)]*=*$value; ***unset($row[$key]); }

Special Characters - Foreign Characters
I'm experiencing a strange problem in displaying some text I have extracted from an XML file that I haven't had much success in solving. I am retrieving some remote XML, placing it in an array, and extracting the data I need, then inserting that into a MySQL database so it can be manipulated and merged with other data. Some of the data includes location names, such as the one below, which include foreign characters that have been translated into a special character. For some reason, these are actually being displayed in the form shown below. For example and ampersand appears as & and not as &. PHP Code: Côte d'Ivoire

Displaying Special Characters
My PHP script uses XML SAX functions to extract data from an XML document. In the XML, I have something like: Code: <myelement>Steak & Cheese</myelement> My PHP script extracts the data between the two elements, but when it displays it to the screen, it returns it to HTML as 'Steak & Cheese', but I need it to return 'Steak & Cheese'. Not to be confused with how it looks on the screen to the user. It SHOULD look like 'Steak & Cheese' to the user, but in the page source generated by my script, I want it to be 'Steak & Cheese'.

Special Characters (æøå) And Zipfiles
I've been searching google about this for days but can't find anything, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm trying to create zip-files without needing the zip-file extension in PHP, mainly because I need the ability to both create and extract zip-files. I've tried a couple of classes found here and there, and they all seem to have the same problem. I'm currently using PclZip (http://phpconcept.net/pclzip/) but even the simplest one I've tried (zip.lib.php from phpMyAdmin) gives the same result. This is the problem: When I create a zip-file containing any file with special characters in their filenames, the characters gets translated into different special characters. The three characters I myself am having problems with is the Norwegian æ, ø and å (uppercase Æ, Ø and Å), all of which are very common in my language. The zip-file itself can contain these characters without any problems, the only files affected are the ones put into the zip-file. Same happens with directories, obviously. The funny thing is, if I extract a zip-file using the same class, the conversion gets reversed, so the files do end up with the correct names after extraction. This of course means that if I upload a zip-file created using WinZip or any other zip-application, any files with special characters will get translated into completely different characters again. I've made a table showing the converted characters which can be found here: http://akkar.sourceforge.net/zipchars.html Also very strange - I tried making a zip-file containing a zero-length file with the special characters in the filename, and when opening that zip-file in a hex-editor I wasn't able to find the hex values for the converted characters anywhere in the file, but the original filename characters were found at the places where I expected them to be. If someone can help me figure out what's going on I would really appreciate it. I've submitted it as a bug for PclZip but it hasn't gotten any response yet, and since I've seen the same thing happen with other classes I sort of doubt it's only related to PclZip. I've tried it on different servers as well, and with the same result. I've got the impression that PclZip is a popular class for managing zip-files,
