php creates folder with garbled characters

When developing PHP, we often need to create folders to store some files or pictures and other resources generated during runtime, but sometimes garbled characters appear during the folder creation process. This situation will bring certain difficulties to the development and maintenance of the project, so we need to understand the cause of this problem and how to solve it.

1. Cause of the problem

The garbled characters are caused by the encoding problem of the folder name. In the Windows operating system, the encoding of the folder name is GBK encoding by default, while in some Linux servers, the encoding method is UTF-8 encoding. This causes the folders created in the Windows operating system to be encoded in the Linux server. The code is garbled because of different encoding methods.

2. Solution

We can solve this problem in the following two ways:

1. Set the encoding method of the folder name

In During the process of creating a folder in PHP, we can set the encoding method of the folder name by adding some specific instructions to ensure that the folder can be displayed normally in different operating systems. The specific operation instructions are as follows:

//Set the encoding method to GB 18030
mkdir(iconv('UTF-8', 'GB18030','folder name'));

//Set the encoding method to UTF-8
mkdir(iconv('GB18030', 'UTF-8','folder name'));

2. Modify the system default encoding method

In addition to setting the encoding method of folder names, we can also modify the encoding method at the system level to ensure that all folders and files can be displayed normally in different operating systems. The specific steps are as follows:

1) Open the Windows operating system control panel

2) Find "Region and Language Settings" in the control panel and open the setting.

3) In the opened "Regional and Language Settings" interface, select the "Management" tab.

4) In the "Management" tab, find "Change System Locale" and select "Chinese (China)".

5) Restart the computer and the system coding configuration is completed.

3. Summary

In the process of creating PHP folders, the problem of garbled characters will bring great difficulties to project development and maintenance. Therefore, we need to adopt suitable solutions to solve this problem. By setting the encoding method of the folder name, or modifying the system's default encoding method, we can ensure that folders and files can be displayed normally in different operating systems and prevent garbled characters.
