Escaping Spaces

[bobjob]

Hello,

I have got a script that allows users to upload files to my website. The File name, file path etc is all stored in a MySQL database.

I am having one problem though, when a user uploads a file which has a file name that has a space within it, then the file_path in the database does not get stored correctly.

For example, If a user uploads a file called "My Picture.jpg", the file_path will be "/uploadedfiles/My"

But if the file is name "MyPicture.jpg", the file_path is stored correctly as "/uploadedfiles/MyPicture.jpg".

I know that I need to use the %20 function, but I dont know how. How do you specifiy before the file_path is stored in the database to replace all spaces with %20!

Any help would be much appreciated

Simple:

$filename = "My Pictures.gif";
$filename = str_replace(" ", "%20", $filename);
