PHP Spaces?

[influx]

Hi there,

I just wrote a PHP Upload Image script, and I am afraid newbies will visit my site to use it, and have image names like "this is me at niagara falls.jpg"

If an image name has spaces in it, that means bad news for me and using the getimagesize php command.

So now I ask, what is the PHP command to convert spaces in a string to %20 for inputting it into my database?

I.E: I want to convert "hello this is me.jpg" to "hello%20this%20is%20me.jpg"

Thanks.

You're looking for [man]rawurlencode/man, but [man]strtr/maning the spaces to underscores might be better.

During upload process, you can convert or rename the name using str_replace().

$image = str_replace(" ","_",$image);

You can also consider the [code]urlencode()[/code], but that's basically the same as laserlight'd suggested.
