note 84989 added to function.sha1-file

Be aware calculating files with strange chars in its names (like spaces, semicolons...). Unlike in functions like rename(), unlink(), copy()... you shouldn't escape those characters in sha1_file(). Example: $filename="Test file with spaces ; and semicolons.txt"; works: sha1_file($filename); doesn't work: $patt=array("/\;/","/\'/","/\&/","/(\s{1})/e"); $repl=array("\;","\'","\&","chr(92).'\\1'"); $all=preg_replace($patt,$repl,$all); sha1_file($filename); ---- Server IP: 82.177.164.100 Probable Submitter: 193.151.36.17 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sha1-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84989 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84989 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84989 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
