What should I do if php cannot recognize the Chinese name?

PHP is a popular server-side scripting language that is widely used to develop web applications. However, PHP has some restrictions on Chinese naming, especially in file naming.

In the Windows operating system, file naming uses the Unicode character set to support characters in various languages. However, PHP does not recognize the Unicode character set by default, so it cannot directly handle Chinese file names.

In this case, when we use Chinese file names to write PHP code in the Windows operating system, PHP cannot recognize these file names and will generate errors. This problem is relatively common and often causes PHP code to fail to execute correctly.

There are two ways to solve this problem: one is to change the encoding format of the file and convert it into an encoding that PHP can recognize; the other is to use a transcoding function to read the Chinese file name.

The first method is to solve the problem by changing the encoding format of the file. We can change the encoding format of the file to UTF-8 so that PHP can correctly identify Chinese file names. For Windows operating systems, you can use the "notepad" editor that comes with Windows to convert the text encoding to UTF-8 format, or use other text editors to convert the encoding.

When using php to operate files, we need to ensure that the file is encoded in UTF-8 format. The following is an example:

$file_path = "中文文件名.txt";

$file_path = iconv("UTF-8", "GBK", $file_path);//将UTF-8转换为GBK编码

$file_content = file_get_contents($file_path);

echo $file_content;

In this example, we define a $file_path variable, which represents the file path with a Chinese name. Next, we use the iconv function to convert the encoding of this variable from UTF-8 to GBK. Finally, use the file_get_contents function to read the file content, assign it to the $file_content variable, and output the content through the echo statement.

The second method is to use transcoding functions to read Chinese file names. In PHP, there are functions that can convert a string with a specified encoding into a recognized encoding. For example, both iconv and mb_convert_encoding functions can convert a specific encoding string to another encoding format.

The following is an example of using the mb_convert_encoding function to read Chinese file names:

$file_path = "中文文件名.txt";

$file_path = mb_convert_encoding($file_path, "GBK", "UTF-8");

$file_content = file_get_contents($file_path);

echo $file_content;

In this example, we use the mb_convert_encoding function to convert the $file_path variable from UTF-8 encoding to GBK encoding. , and then use the file_get_contents function to read the file contents and output them.

In general, PHP’s restriction on Chinese naming is a relatively minor problem and can be solved by the above two methods. No matter which method is used, we need to ensure the correctness of the file encoding format so that files named in Chinese can be read correctly.
