Im tryng to parse latin caracter, the path of a folder to ork arround it, creating files, deleting folders... the path is: c:\user\CAÑIZO and when try to get it from shwll_Exec

$path = shell_exec("pwd");
    echo $path;

this is my output: c:/user/CA├æIZO so when i try to use opendir method, it give me an error that didn't find the path... I`ve tried anythig, using icon, utf8-decode, utf8-encode. And windows tell me that my encoding is utf8 , but.... And at last i cant rename my user of windows...

I tried to write directly the folder path:

if(opendir('c:\user\CAÑIZO')) echo "great"; 
    else echo "bad";

And the same didt find..

Any help is apreciated.

thanks

using chcp, no change for example echo of 'página' is 'pßgina' – Álvaro Touzón Mar 29 '16 at 06:56
none of the encodig give the correct result $text = "A strange string to pass, maybe with some ø, æ, å characters."; foreach(mb_list_encodings() as $chr){ echo mb_convert_encoding($text, 'UTF-8', $chr)." : ".$chr."\n"; } – Álvaro Touzón Mar 29 '16 at 07:04
