mkdir utf-8 Cyrillic

Question

I need to create directories in utf-8 Cyrillic. i use mkdir function for this, then i try to do:

$img_dir = './img/product/'.htmlspecialchars($_POST['title']);
if(!is_dir($img_dir)){
  mkdir($img_dir, 0700);
};

in $_POST['title'] i have titles of product something like that : "Кеды", "Макасины" but this function create folders with such names: "РљРµРґС‹","РњР°РєР°СЃРёРЅС‹".

This is associated with the coding of my OS? How can i solve this problem?

I don't know what you are trying to do with `htmlspecialchars` but if you want to sanitize filenames, this might be helpful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2668854/sanitizing-strings-to-make-them-url-and-filename-safe What kind of OS and what file system are you using? — Basti, Mar 15 '12 at 15:30

Instead of htmlspecialchars you need to use htmlentities, which includes the whole cyrillic alphabet.

$img_dir = './img/product/'.htmlentities($_POST['title']);
if(!is_dir($img_dir)){
mkdir($img_dir, 0700);
};

TIP: Do not forget to add this in your database with this html-filename too – bfb 1985 Feb 28 '13 at 00:37
