Question

i am saving a file using move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $save_path . $FileName); but when the file name i choose is in arabic , the file is saved in strange characters like that : ÒíäÈ.pdf.

so when i try to open the uploaded file later, it says file not found .(the real one) what should i do ??

Answer 1

It will be better to rename the image name using time stamp

$imgname = time().'.'.'jpg';
$imgtmpname=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
$fullpath= $path.$imgname;
$filename = $imgname;
move_uploaded_file($imgtmpname,$fullpath);

and also store the $imgname in the database so we can fetch the image by this name..It will also avoid the name conflict between images as the timestamps keep changing.
