RE: [PHP] Use of special characters in filenames results in IE problems

The is no function that i know specific to do that. But you can work it out with a RegExp. Try: $fileName=ereg_replace("_", "[^A-Za-z0-9_%]", $fileName); Cheers!! -----Original Message----- From: Floyd Piedad [mailto:piedad@akasia.com] Sent: Thursday, 19 April, 2001 11:24 PM To: dful@metahogar.com Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Use of special characters in filenames results in IE problems Hi, I discovered a bug in my program for uploading files, which stores the filename in the database in order to create a link for it on the web page in the future. The bug is when the filename makes use of special characters (e.g. Oplæg). When I create a link to the file, the link works with Netscape. With IE however, it says that file is not found. I discovered that if I use the "encoded" version of the file name ("Opl%e6g") it works on both IE and Netscape. What function or code is used to convert to this format? Thanks! Floyd
