When uploading files, there is problem with Lativian characters - the
e with overscore (e with a line above; ē )

The problem is, that when uploading, it changes the "e" to the html
code:

echo "\r\n10- ".$_FILES["newfile_$i "]['name']."<br>";
result:
whatever_ē.pdf

I haven't found the PHP manual page where such feature is documented but
a few tests have shown that this behaviour changes depending on the
charset parameter of the "Content-Type" HTTP header; even if I don't set
an actual HTTP header and I just use a <metatag:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

With a packet sniffer I've determined that it's not the browser who
changes it. If you write into a file the entities are still there, so it
doesn't seem to be an Apache feature. It's really weird.

If it's not feasible to change your encoding to UTF-8, well, I don't
know what you can do...

I have the same problem but with uploading excel files to mysql 5. It
doesn't matter if I use UTF-8 or iso-8859-1 and uploading the
trademark symbol. htmlspecialchar s() or htmletities() doesn't help?

doesn't matter if I use UTF-8 or iso-8859-1 and uploading the
trademark symbol. htmlspecialchar s() or htmletities() doesn't help?- Hidequoted text -

I tried some of these, no luck.

I made a replace for known letters ( e.g. ē =e ) end for the
rest I just replace them with _ (underscore)
That way I can avoid any problems.
I am just wondering when they start using russian letters in
filenames... hope they wont
