Answer 1

Try to use urlencode to encode your directory name:
$str = 'c:\\'.urlencode('表').'\t.txt';
$con=file_get_contents( $str);
echo $con;
This is described here in detail.
EDIT
Assuming you're using UTF-8 encoded source files, you could also try one of the following
$str = 'c:\\'.urlencode(mb_convert_encoding('表', 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8')).'\t.txt';
// or just
$str = 'c:\\'.mb_convert_encoding('表', 'UTF-16', 'UTF-8').'\t.txt';
As far as I know newer (> FAT32) Microsoft filesystems use UTF-16 encoding. But this will make your solution fail on other (e.g. Linux) filesystems.
EDIT 2
You can also try to convert your UTF-8 filename into a different encoding such as SJIS, SJIS-win, SJIS-2004, JIS, EUC-JP, eucJP-win, EUC-JP-2004, CP932, JIS-ms or the like. But I'm not an expert in east asian character encodings - so treat that information with caution.

Answer 2

try this
<?PHP
$con=file_get_contents('./表/t.txt', true);
$con=file_get_contents('./表/t.txt',FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH);
echo $con;
?>

Answer 3

Language : PHP
$results = scandir('c:\');
$result will give you all folder name inside c drive.
you can find your folder in $result array.
now you have folder name in $result and now you can go to file.
Modified :
$results = scandir('/web');
$results = "/web/$results[21]/t.txt";
$con=file_get_contents( $results);
echo $con;
Explanation :
1.) /web is the directory where is 表 folder and some other folders.
2.) $result[21] is giving me value 表 on browser i know its 表 folder.
3.) Now you have file path. Go ahead.
NOTE : If you still use Chinese character in your folder and file then you have to change your OS from window to ubuntu.

Answer 4

Create path based on single /
$content = file_get_contents("C:/表/t.txt");
