Description:
------------
OS: Windows XP Traditional Chinese

I installed an Apache2 server to a folder with double-byte character. (e.g C:\中國\Apache2\)

To support Apache2, I have to convert the httpd.conf into UTF8 format.

PHP5.0.5 is installed as Apache2 module by httpd.conf.
LoadModule php5_module "C:/中國/Apache2/php-5.0.5-Win32/php5apache2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

When I try to access my test page, the following returned:

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed opening 'C:\中國\Apache2\htdocs\index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0 

I guess Apache saves the utf8 path string from httpd.conf and passes them to PHP module. PHP assumes the input path as native mbstring. This might be the cause.

Best Regards,
Maltzee

Has anyone found a cause and solution for this? My Apache 2.0.54 and PHP 5.2.9 does the same thing. It can't open php files that reside in any path with two-byte western european letters such as ? (%c3%a5), ? (%c3%a4) or ? (%c3%b6).

You have to convert the path to the correct codepage before passing it to the file functions.

php6 will support unicode filenames. Move to won't fix as we already a feature request for that and it is part of the php6 todo.
