Hi. I can't reupload an image with Ö as first character. Following a conversation on the Wikimedia Commons Village Pump: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Bug_report which goes as follows: == Bug report == I've trying to reupload "[[:image:Östergötland coat of arms.png]]" but the uploading insists on renaming it into "[[:image:Stergötland coat of arms.png]]" / [[User:Fred chessplayer|Fred Chess]] 15:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC) : I experience the same thing, with Firefox on Linux. It appears to be a server-side problem. File a report on [http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org bugzilla]? [[User:dbenbenn]] 19:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC) ::Attempted same upload via Internet Explorer. [... Didn't work] '''[[User:Bastique|Bas]]''' <sup>'''[[User talk:Bastique|parler]]'''</sup> --------------------------- I can't remember if it worked to reupload such filesbefore on Wikimedia Commons. However, it did work on Swedish Wikipedia as late as December 2005, as you can see from http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:%C3%96sterg%C3%B6tland.png .
Hallo! Please see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:Prefixindex/%D6?namespace=6 Please identify exactly the OS and browser versions. Both IE and Firefox allows you to change "View" | "Character Encoding" | Unicode (UTF-8) . What setting was used? It seams that the browser of the reporter is sending an invalid character with a value between 128 and 255 (I do not know which one). Try also to paste the name at http://pastebin.com/ . best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Confirmed something seems to be borked; tested IE 6.0 on WinXP SP2. Looking into it...
This may be a bug in PHP. The filename gets trimmed with the basename() function; with PHP 5.0.5 and 5.1.2 on Linux systems I'm seeing this broken behavior: <?php echo basename("Östergötland_coat_of_arms.png") . "\n"; ?> stergötland_coat_of_arms.png With PHP 4.4.0 on Linux, and both PHP 4 and 5 on Mac OS X, I'm seeing the correct result: Östergötland_coat_of_arms.png
Seems to be a widespread problem: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33898 Not quite sure why I can't replicate it on my Mac, but I can on three separate Linux setups... Will work around it by reimplementing basename(), since PHP folks don't seem to give a shit about it.
Fixed on HEAD; added a wfBaseName() function which just does a regex. This version also understands "\" as well as "/" on both Unix and Windows; PHP's own basename() only understands "\" on Windows and Netware. Removing bogus tracking bug; not a character conversion issue.
Thanks Brion! I was thinking about different codings für Ö (as %D6, %C3%96 and other OS depending codings). In comment 1 I used: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:Prefixindex/%D6?namespace=6 The correct Unicode encoding is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/special:Prefixindex/%C3%96?namespace=6 best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
