lacking unicode support for file uploading class? - El Forum - 09-29-2007

It probably is a php issue, but it would be nice if CI checked for unicode support or sanitizes the filename somewhat stricter.
When I upload a file with unicode chars in the filename, I get an error. Can anyone confirm this? I followed the guidelines in the User Guide which resulted in a working application.
I'm not to good in handling unicode, so I took the url_title function and extended the CI_Upload class with this:
Code:
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Upload extends CI_Upload {
/**
* Extra filename cleaning for unicode chars etc.
*
* @return string
* @author bochoven
**/
function clean_file_name($filename)
{
$replace = '_';
$trans = array(
"\s+" => $replace,
"[^a-z0-9\.".$replace."]" => '',
$replace."+" => $replace,
$replace."$" => '',
"^".$replace => ''
);
$filename = strip_tags(strtolower($filename));
foreach ($trans as $key => $val)
{
$filename = preg_replace("#".$key."#", $val, $filename);
}
return trim(stripslashes($filename));
}
}This strips the filename, and all is fine

You are right about unicode being a php issue, unicode support is scheduled for php6.
Instead of cleaning up the filename you could use the encrypt option of the configuration class.

Thanks for the info, I could not find anything useful on php.net.
Although I like the encryption option, I don't like my end users confronted with d28e2bca687873aba49b22dfd61c3443.jpg when they upload "A picture of the beach.jpg". I would like 'proper' filenames to pass thru while improper ones get sanitized.

I understand, i was just suggesting there are CI build-in options to circumvent the unicode problem for files. Cleaning the filename is a nice option so thank you for sharing.

Harry Fuecks maintains a collection of Unicode UTF-8 encoding string handlers on SourceForge. The string handlers were orginally designed for the WACT framework and released later as a standalone package for more widespread use.
Some information about the more larger problem with references to the string handlers.
http://www.phpwact.org/php/i18n/charsets
Sourceforge download for the string handlers is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phputf8
These use mbstring if it is enabled in php.ini for a slight performance gain. I believe that these string handlers were added as a helper to the Kohana fork.
