Hi folks, I've got a problem with character encoding that's threatening to kill my little brain. Here we go: I have a directory with a bunch of PDFs in it that my webpage displays links to. All of the files have the french character  in them. The operating system is Linux (I did not experience this problem on a Windows machine). I don't want to type the display name of these files twice and the website has no database capability so it takes the filename, rips off the extension, and runs htmlentities() on it before displaying to the user. So far so good. Now to the anchor's href. The only encoding method I found which creates a proper link to the file is rawurlencode(), but the catch is that the filename isn't user friendly at all. My question then is what is the best solution to this problem? Ideally I would like the link to function and for the filename to be readable. Any hope/help is appreciated.
