Apache htdocs in folder with unicode name

Question

I have my apache (for windows) htdocs in a folder like c:\anything1\怘怙怚怛\anything2. The problem is that in this case php won't execute any scripts from here and will display an error message like this:

`Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'c:/anything1/怘怙怚怛/anything2/index.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0 `

If I try to open a html file, it is served by apache, so it seems that the problem appears only with php. Do you have an idea how to solve this?

Hmm I like it.. good Question... :) – OM The Eternity May 18 '10 at 10:24 — OM The Eternity, May 18 '10 at 10:24

@Nilay I understand your point, but those solutions are not good for my situation, because I had to use the latest php and that specific unicode folder I mentioned in the question (or something very similar). But anyhow, thanks. – Zsolti Mar 12 '14 at 21:41

I may be wrong but I'd say you can't do it without patching PHP. Apache (or the PHP apache handler) passes PHP a path encoded in UTF-8 and PHP ultimately relies on the ANSI version of FindFirstFile (and you cannot set a UTF-8 codepage).

I suggest you submit a bug report.
