Php Help - urgent

[fakhruddin]

i am running an image hosting script

when i upload normal images everything is fine


but when i upload images with spaces in between it creates problems

for eg - If i upload "Abc Vbg.jpg"

The Link Comes Like This
http://localhost/photo/Abc+Vbg.jpg

But the correct link to the image is
http://localhost/photo/Abc Vbg.jpg

how do i solve this issue

Noting wrong in the link. It is urlencoded with space encoded to + sign.

So if you create url for the image Abc Vbg.jpg, it is encoded to Abc+Vbg.jpg

you should always filter file names.
if somebody uses filenames with weird characters in them, you might not be able to remove them from your server.

use preg_replace to filter the filenames

generate new filename - replace spaces with _ and add some unique value - this will solve the problem

What filter rule do you need to prevent that from happening?

What filter rule do you need to prevent that from happening?

function cleanfile($file) {
return preg_replace('/[^0-9A-Za-z\- ]/', "", $file);
}

that should work :)
