[PHP] Problem :file_exists & japanese filename

[umesh]

Hi Gurus,

I am using PHP4 on linux.

I am reading the filename from querystring and display it in the browser.
Before displaying , I am checking the existance of the file by using
file_exists.
If the file name contains japanese characters, such as 百人一首.pdf or てす
と.txt, file_exists returns false, though the
file exists at that location. Why ?

I have compiled PHP with japanese support.

Can anybody help me ?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Umesh.
