Cannot export with chinese file name

[Sherry]

I encounter export problem with any file (within the content -> file) with chinese file name:
1. If I choose to export to LEAP2A, the file is missing in the exported file.
2. If I choose to export to HTML, the file name become garbled.

version: Mahara 1.7
server OS: ubuntu 10.04
php: 5.3.2.1.4.19
database: mysql 5.1.69.0.0.10.04.1

I note from testing with both the latest mahara 1.7.4 and 1.8 and having a file called 測試.txt and exporting just one page

- it seems to export the file for HTML fine
- for Leap2a it alters the name of the file to 0-測試.txt

So there is a problem here, so will mark bug confirmed.

When creating a leap2a export - the file name gets appended with an id. This is expected behavior as without this id before the file name, the leap 2a cannot be re-imported.

So the 0-測試.txt is expected working.

The garbling of Chinese names is not to do with the import/export, but the language support on the server itself.

Basically, this may be a problem of mismatch between your locale, which is set to UTF-8, and the encoding of your Chineses character file, which may be encoded in gbk, gb2312, gb18030, or Big-5.

The solution is to update the server to support different locale and languages.

I would suggest to update the Mahara wiki for noting this to server admins that need to support different languages and closing this issue here.

Hi Steven,

Agree that this is not a mahara issue - but the language support on the server itself.
Are you happy for me to close this issue as invalid?

Bug 1184947 : Chinese names of files when exporting

The only issue found when looking into this bug
is the directory name reported is not set.
it was using the variable $todir but the actual
directory name is in the variable $to.

On the Chinese character issue: this is server side:
When creating a leap2a export - the file name gets
appended with an id. This is expected behaviour as
without this id before the file name, the leap 2a cannot
be re-imported.

So the 0-������.txt is expected working.

The garbling of Chinese names is not to do with the
import/export, but the language locale support on the
server itself.
