note 58753 added to function.base64-encode

Using base64_encode to produce clean filenames from usernames (e.g. for image upload) is a bad idea if Umlaute (ö,ä,ü) are allowed. Then there is a slash (/) added in the filename, that will lead to a nonexisting directory beeing looked for and your script crashing! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.base64-encode.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58753 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58753&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58753&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
