Re: Web friendly file names

As far as I know it will only bug out when the host filesystem would bug out, ie UTF-16 characters tend to explode on my linux setup that I develop on, and PHP's file handlign doesn't like them, but then again neither does the filesystem. Stuff like "Some silly name! YAY#####" work fine, on the other hand.
