[RESOLVED] File download with # in file name

[kender]

I have a file on a server that I need to be able to download, the problem is that it has a #'s in the name... am I missing an obvious answer here? When I try to download (click link for downloading) i get "file not found"

file name is "telephone #'s" (without double quotes)

I am urlencoding before download to the dl script where i urldecode it

$_GET['f'] = urldecode($_GET['f']);

if (file_exists ($_GET['f'])) {
	$file_name = str_replace(' ', '_', $_GET['f']); // turn spaces in file name to underscore for save

  header('Content-type: application/force-download');
  header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . "$file_name");
  readfile($_GET['f']);

} else {
  //bad bad bad
}

The values in the $GET array are already url-decoded, so you should not need to decode it again. I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, though. You may want to echo out $GET['f'] to find out what you are actually dealing with, possibly make sure all error reporting/displaying is on, etc.

Thanks for the error reporting reminder..
was a stripslashes problem... new problem though, the # turns into a _... odd but I can live with that
