note 79678 added to function.preg-replace

Hi, as I wasn't able to find another way to do this, I wrote a function converting any UTF-8 string into a correct NTFS filename (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename). <?php function strToNTFSFilename($string) { $reserved = preg_quote('\/:*?"<>', '/'); return preg_replace("/([\\x00-\\x1f{$forbidden}])/e", "_", $string); } ?> It converts all control characters and filename characters which are reserved by Windows ('\/:*?"<>') into an underscore. This way you can safely create an NTFS filename out of any UTF-8 string. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.4 Probable Submitter: 194.175.243.100 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79678 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79678 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79678 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
