Read FTP dir (list) via PHP - error in name

Question

I have a code which read FTP dir with directories with names such as (example):

"John_Trumph_USA_bb44cc"

code:

$dh = opendir("ftp://10.200.1.1/rt");
while($filename = readdir($dh))
{
echo " ".$filename."\n <br>";
?>

But in final result I have only:

"_Trumph_USA_bb44cc"

Where is the first word "John"?

Once i experienced this problem and It was an encoding one. Try to use setlocale(LC_ALL, 'US');. In second parameter put your files encoding. — George Myl

Try changing the encoding like this.

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU');

$dh = opendir("ftp://10.200.1.1/rt");
while($filename = readdir($dh))
{
echo " ".$filename."\n <br>";
?>

Check if language is installed on you server via locale -a You can install it via sudo locale-gen --purge en_US.UTF-8 ru_RU

I see russian words and english word in my list. But I didnt see first russian word in it.

Installing the correct UTF-8 locale will fix the issue.

Sorry, I can't comment so I've had to leave an answer

Have you tried using the example code from the PHP documentation ? The first example here is trying to do exactly what you are.
