Problem with french characters

I have a problem with accented characters. When I upload the file on the server whose name is in french, the name is truncated after uploading. example: the file name is: vidéo insolite after uploading the name becomes vid. In addition, the rewriting of the link of the link becomes http://domain.com/video/gallery/Vid-o-comique. 
can you help me?

Any help???

Hello,

Hope you alredy found a solution to your issue.

if not: i think you would better use a function based on str_replace($accent_char, $no_accent_char, $string)

example : str_replace("é","e",here_file_name.ext);

if you check on Web, you wold find that kind of function ready to use.

then you insert the file in Data base with the new name that does not contain any accent character.

take care.

Hello Thank you for your answer. How can I set it for all title will I have? Replace all accent characters.
