Cant upload files with spaces in the name

Reply Quote

I know this is dumb but many of my forum users are trying to upload files that have special characters or spaces in them. How can I prevent that? or how can i remove the special characters inclduing spaces and replace these with - or _ in the uploaded file name.

Thanks

Dear SoloX,

Uploader is a tool to help you upload files.

When the file is uploaded , the uploader will save the file to temp folder at first.

And the name of the file is also a temp name.

You need write code to move the file to your target location , and then maintain it by yourself.

Please check the sample ,

demo2.php and demo2_upload.php

demo2.php use this to specify a handler

$uploader->UploadUrl="demo2_upload.php";

demo2_upload.php move the file to another place

$targetfilepath= "savefiles/" . $mvcfile->FileName;

You can modify the demo2_upload.php , change the $targetfilepath, and remove space or change it to other character.

Regards,

Eric
