FPDF Output file name encoding

Question

Im using FPDF to create some pdf documents, filename is taken from a field $fullname. In document everything works fine , i get all the letter which i need with tFPDF. Letters: Š Đ Č Ć Ž

But the problem is when the file is saved. Like i said the file name takes the $fullname, if i type inside a field my name " Elvedin Salkanović " i get the same in document, but name of the file on my localhost is " Elvedin SalkanoviÄ‡.pdf " So instead of ć i got Ä‡. And i reallz cant find the answer how to fix it. I need utf-8 to be used for filename. Btw I`m not an expert in php, so it would be nice if someone explain me deatailed.

take a look on this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6334134/fpdf-utf-8-encoding-how-to — Adhan Timothy Younes, Jan 21 '17 at 03:38

You can try:

$outputname = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $fullname);
