Filename Coding

[Horus]

I've programmed a Webmail Client but i have a little problem with the right filenames of the attachments

if i have a attachment-filename without special chars everything is working wonderful, but if there a spaces or ()s it does not send the attachment

How do I have to save them?

Thankx

You can use str_replace :

<?
$replace_what = array(" ", "(", ")");
$replace_by = "_"; // you can change it, and even use an array, just like $replace_what
$filename = str_replace($replace_what, $replace_by, $filename);
?>

Also, you could use a regular expression so change everything that is not a letter or a number in something else... but I'm not good with regular expressions... !
