php readdir problem with japanese language file name

Question

I have the following code

Answer 1

I think Windows uses UTF-16 for file names. So try the mb_convert_encoding function to convert from the internal encoding to your output encoding:

// convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8
echo mb_convert_encoding($file, 'UTF-8', 'UTF-16');

Maybe you have to change some settings first (see mb_get_info).
