Notes On Working With Files In PHP

When you use php to execute shell script to handle file, the filename may have to be preprocessing due to a few special characters.

$fileAttr = $_FILES['fileObj'];
$target_dir = "upload";
$chars=array("/【/", "/】/", "/：/", "/！/", "/？/", "/ /", "/\(/", "/\)/", "/（/", "/）/", "/,/", "/，/", "/-/", "/-/");
$fileName = preg_replace( $chars, '_' , $fileAttr["name"] );
$target_basename = basename($fileName);
$upload_file = $target_dir . "/" . $target_basename;

It’s better to set character encoding before running shell command.

$cmdStr = 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8; handle ' . $upload_file
