Question

i have the followed code

  $zip = new ZipArchive;
  $res = $zip->open('tmp/articles.zip');
  if ($res === TRUE) {
    $zip->extractTo('tmp/');
    $zip->close();
  }

It works fine for archives with english filenames, but if i made archieve with russian characters, i have unreadable filenames. What should I do?

UPD: It doesn’t work correctly when i use “unzip” from bash too.

Answer 1

Look at this code:

$z = new ZipArchive();
$res = $z->open('C:\Temp\Temp.zip');
if ($res)
{
    $z->extractTo('C:\Temp\Temp');
    $z->close();
}

$files = scandir('C:\Temp\Temp');
foreach ($files as $filename)
{
    print iconv('cp866', 'utf-8', $filename).PHP_EOL;
}

This code prints normal filenames.
So, WinRar uses old ms-dos charset ‘cp866’ for Cyrillic.
Hope you can change this code to create rename algorithm 🙂
