On Windows we get GBK, not UTF8 about koel

[phanan]

This is to my knowledge a limitation of PHP 5.x on Windows. Can you try upgrading to PHP 7 as a workaround, and see if it works out?

Oh I'm so sorry I didn't attach my system information.
Yes, I followed your wiki to install Koel, so I'm using PHP7.0

Windows10 Edu
Apache/2.4.18 (Win32)
Laravel 5.1
PHP/7.0.0
5.7.10-log - MySQL Community Server (GPL)

Hmm. You mentioned to have added some code to convert from GBK to UTF8, can you share with me the code?

[baozijianke]

OK.
In fact, in my test I use iconv("GBK","UTF-8//IGNORE",$string) .
I just searched this in Google and had a try.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php
here is the document of iconv.

Strange. I've just tested in a Windows VM, the function works fine for me:

$file = new SplFileInfo("C:\Users\an\Desktop\中文好歌曲.mp3");
var_dump($file->getPathname()); // string(39) "C:\Users\an\Desktop\中文好歌曲.mp3"

em......My test is not the same as yours.
maybe it's the Symfony/Finder 's problem? I'm not sure.
I add 3 songs, one english song, one korean song ,one chinese song.

require('vendor/autoload.php');
use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->in("D:\MusicBase");

foreach ($finder as $file) {
    // Dump the absolute path
    var_dump(iconv('GBK', 'UTF-8', $file->getRealpath())); // convert
    var_dump($file->getRealpath()); //not convert
}

Below is what I see in chrome. chrome is using UTF-8 by default.

Forgive my ugly writings.

Your sample doesn't work for me though. This appears to be a long-known issue with PHP – Unicode settings on Windows, which unfortunately I don't have enough time to look for a workaround now. I'd suggest you keep the current local fix if it works for you.
