So php has encoded the url to some ISO8859 variant and apache is decoding
those to some utf ... next to wonder is the charset used by your OS to
store the file name ...
In general, just forget diacritial, language specific, fancy characters and
just use 'securite' for filename.
It keeps you from dozens of cross-platform and cross-language traps, easing
migration of a website ten fold.
