While using this function to pass filenames to the command line I noticed shell_exec() was failing. Upon further investigation it appears escapeshellarg() removes double spaces from file names. For example: $filename = "my super file.txt"; // notice the double space after "my" echo escapeshellarg($filename); Produces: 'my super file.txt' (second space was removed) ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 185.85.3.173 (proxied: 2607:fb90:db03:8b12:2f80:1a9d:284d:ac6f) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/127603 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127603 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/127603 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
