move_uploaded_file function in PHP

Question

I have a problem that I'm using move_uploaded_file() function to upload files and some of the files named in Arabic so I googled the problem but still no answer I used meta tag and I used Base64 encode and everything but still doesn't work. What is the solution ?

<?php
    $data_name=$_POST['name'];
    $name=base64_encode($_FILES['file']['name']);
    $location="../Files/".$course_name."/";
    $tmp_name=$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $location.$name))
        echo"OK";
?>

One solution can be:

Have a database where save your arabic name of file and give that file some custom unique name with current time, also save custom name into db, at time of retreival change file name and show to user.

OR use some name conversion library which convert text from arabic to englidh and vice versa. for this purpose have a look on these refferences
