is it possible to upload a file and name it with a space?

PHP Code:

  <?

$name="Oh No";

 
copy($file, $path . "/" . $name . ".jpg");

?>

it does not like this . the upload gets named ".jpg"

you could convert the space to "\ " (slash space). that usually fixes problems with spaces

i ended up usually replacing " " with "_" .. i'll try that later, .. thanks =)

or put talking marks around it

Code:

$name = "\"hello world\"";

i tried it with quotes, single quotes, and back ticks and it just names the file with the quotes.

try it again including the path in the variable:

Code:

$name = "hello world.jpg";
$path = "/root/";
$real = "\"" . $path . $name . "\""
