Filenames With Spaces Netscape Error

[Anon]

I wrote a php script that allows a user to upload files to our system. There is another end that allows users to view the files that others uploaded. My problem is when a user uploads a file that has spaces in the name

For example: "How to Use Photoshop.doc"

if they use netscape they get an error when trying to view or download the file, becasue as soon as netscape sees the space it thinks its the end of the file name. So if a user used netscape they would get an error stating "File "How" is not found if they were trying to view the above example. Everyhting works fine under IE. Do any of you know of a way i can get around this error for netscape browsers. Is there a way i can somehow remove the spaces when someone uploads?

Thanks for any help.

When you copy the uploaded file to wherever it's kept, you have an opportunity to fix the filename then. What you replace the spaces with is largely a matter of taste, but for example this would replace spaces with underscores (as well as copything the file to another directory:

copy($filename, 'destination/path/'.strtr(' ','_',$filename));

There's also a rename() function for renaming files.
