I am getting a file with a faroese name and trying to save it in a PHP script:
2010_08_Útflutningur.xls
In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is saving it as :
2010_08_�tflutningur.xls (invalid encoding)
I’ve installed and run utf8-migration-tool, but with no effect.
Is this a ubuntu error that I can fix or I just have to give up and modify the name in php?
Thanks
Ubuntu uses UTF8 internally for its filenames. In this particular case utf8_encode does the trick as the original filename is ISO-8859-1 encoded. In other cases I could use iconv, and detect the encoding if is unknown.
