Upload issue

[crawfd]

When I upload a filename with spaces in it. (i.e. Hot Blue.JPG) into a directory, the filename ($file) variable doesn't get read properly. If a file name is uploaded without any spaces in the name, (i.e. HotBlue.jpg) the $file variable reads it fine. Anyone have suggestions on reading the complete file name with spaces?

Due to the fact that file names with spaces are not being read propery, is in turn keeping me from deleting the $file (the filename)...

<? 
if ($handle = opendir('content/clients/'.$_SESSION['username'].'')) { 
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {  

        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {  

            echo "$file | <a href=$PHP_SELF?action=upload&image=remove&file=$file>Delete</a><br>";
        }  

    } 
    closedir($handle);  

}
extract($_REQUEST);
	if($image == "remove"){
	$thefile = $_REQUEST['file']; 
	unlink("content/clients/".$_SESSION['username']."/$thefile");            

	echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">window.location = \"$PHP_SELF?action=upload\";</script>";
	}

?>

just to something like this when you store the file:

$filename = str_replace(" ", "", $filename);

This will remove the space from the filename.

Or
$filename = str_replace(" ", "%20", $filename)

if you want to place the filename in a URL.

Trying to take out the spaces in the filename on upload as you suggest. What I have doesn't seem to work at the moment.....

$newfile = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$newfile = str_replace(" ", "", $newfile);
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . $newfile);

What error are you getting?

No error, ...uploads the file, but spaces are still in place in the filename. I tried changing things around a bit, but this doesn't work either......

$newfile = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$newfile = str_replace(" ", "", $filename);
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . $filename);
