Find invalid filenames from a web host
12 Feb 2016 in Web
With the following code, you can find invalid filenames under a directory:
<?php
// change according to your needs
$dir = __DIR__;
// force browser to show the output as plain text
header('Content-Type: text/txt; charset=utf-8');
// scan directory
$dir = new DirectoryIterator($dir);
foreach ($dir as $fileinfo) {
// do not process . and ..
if ($fileinfo->isDot()) {
continue;
}
$filename = $fileinfo->getFilename();
if (strlen($filename) == strlen(utf8_decode($filename))) {
continue;
}
// filename mismatch
echo $dir . $filename . "\n";
}
Obviously, to be used on a php web host.
