Description:
------------
when creating zip archive with non-english filenames, 
the filenames are not encoded correctly, upon extraction
you get them like ???_???.txt.
(tested with various unzipping software on windows/linux)

a suggested workaround, e.g:

$zip->addFile($file_data['path'], iconv("UTF-8","CP852",$file_name));

doesn't help

Test script:
---------------
<?php

   $zip = new ZipArchive();

   if ($zip->open('/tmp/test.zip', ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) === TRUE) {

      $zip->addFile('/tmp/file.txt', 'קובץ.txt');

      $zip->close();

      echo "done";

   } else {

      echo "failed";

   }

?>


Expected result:
----------------
create a zip file which can be extracted reproducing the original file names.

Actual result:
--------------
non english file names comes out corrupted, e.g: ???_???.txt

I also confirm this problem.

Workaround: Helps converting to your DOS encoding.

Use latest pecl release to have UTF-8 support.

Even if I use the latest pecl release (beta) the bug is still present!!!

Found solution.

To repeat in short, the below suggested workaround would work, except its wrong.  It should be CP862 not CP852.  (for hebrew)  See link.

or update to a more recent php version, 5.4+ or use latest zip from pecl.

Is it fixed in higher versions of PHP ?

Also is there any technical work around to fix this issue ?

We are currently using Drupal 6 CMS, we have around 500+ custom modules and we can't afford heavy testing for this change.
