Strange problem

[FredrikN]

Hi.
I'm using a php upload script and it works fine(99%) anyway.

The problem is that I can upload files with spaces like
aa bb.jpg or something.


This is the code I'm using, maybee anyone knows what the problem is ?


snip ---

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/home/user/tmp/file"
system ("mv /home/user/tmp/file /home/user/public_html/$tmpname"

end of snip ---

This will put the uploaded file in public_html with the real name of the file

It works fine if the file name is aabb.jpg but not with aa bb.jpg

Thanks.

let me guess, it will either name the file orignally called "a bb.jpg" to "aa"?
what you would need to do, is temporialy change the " " charactor to something else, ie change it to ##space## then then do a s&r on ##space## to convert it back to a " ". I had this problem with a similar perl script, and after doing the s&r routine to replace all the spaces with ##space## handle them, then re-convert them back, it worked perfectly.
(this is also great for handeling < > @ [ ] % $ * = + - / and &quot; chars)
