That character is a bit problematic, there are issues converting it between Unicode and SJIS, see also stackoverflow.com/questions/34894581/… — Thilo

Use var_dump(is_file("c:\\\\表\\t.txt"), is_readable("c:\\\\表\\t.txt")); to debug. — onin

Try to use urlencode to encode your directory name:

$str = 'c:\\'.urlencode('表').'\t.txt'; $con=file_get_contents( $str); echo $con;

This is described here in detail.

EDIT

Assuming you're using UTF-8 encoded source files, you could also try one of the following

$str = 'c:\\'.urlencode(mb_convert_encoding('表', 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8')).'\t.txt'; // or just $str = 'c:\\'.mb_convert_encoding('表', 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8').'\t.txt';

As far as I know newer (> FAT32) Microsoft filesystems use UTF-16 encoding. But this will make your solution fail on other (e.g. Linux) filesystems.

EDIT 2

You can also try to convert your UTF-8 filename into a different encoding such as SJIS, SJIS-win, SJIS-2004, JIS, EUC-JP, eucJP-win, EUC-JP-2004, CP932, JIS-ms or the like. But I'm not an expert in east asian character encodings - so treat that information with caution.

Warning: file_get_contents(c:\%E8%A1%A8\t.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\direction\test.php on line 6
my file is utf-8, it still show errror: Warning: : failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\direction\test.php on line 6
i try change UTF-16 to all encode: SJIS, SJIS-win, SJIS-2004, JIS, EUC-JP, eucJP-win, EUC-JP-2004, CP932, JIS-ms, but it still not woking.
@DT: Then I think you're out of look. If it's an option to change the name of the folder something containing only ASCII characters, the do this and you're done.

try this

<?PHP $con=file_get_contents('./表/t.txt', true); $con=file_get_contents('./表/t.txt',FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH); echo $con; ?>

Language : PHP

$results = scandir('c:\'); $result will give you all folder name inside c drive. you can find your folder in $result array. now you have folder name in $result and now you can go to file.

Modified :

$results = scandir('/web'); $results = "/web/$results[21]/t.txt"; $con=file_get_contents( $results); echo $con;

Explanation :

1.) /web is the directory where is 表 folder and some other folders. 2.) $result[21] is giving me value è¡¨ on browser i know its 表 folder. 3.) Now you have file path. Go ahead.

NOTE : If you still use Chinese character in your folder and file then you have to change your OS from window to ubuntu.

If you getting folder name in $result[2] then use it in your way. $str = "C:\$results[2]\.t.txt"; $con=file_get_contents( $str); echo $con;
it sill show error : Warning: : failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
do one thing. move your file in different drive or make a copy of that file and give permission to that file and apply your approach
Please come in chat. i will explain you there. I have ubuntu OS

Create path based on single /

$content = file_get_contents("C:/表/t.txt");

You can read more about Filesystem here: http://php.net/manual/en/wrappers.file.php
