Php Help - urgent

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

Code (markup):

But the correct link to the image is

http://localhost/photo/Abc Vbg.jpg

Code (markup):

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

 

neways probs solved now

thanks neways

 

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?

 

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

PHP:

that should work

 

Awesome, thank you!
