Filename Cleaning Issue

[johne90]

I am having issues with cleaning filenames during upload. I think there must be something I am missing, or do not know.

 

function clean_image_name($name){ 
$code_entities_match = array( '"' ,'!' ,'@' ,'#' ,'$' ,'%' ,'^' ,'&' ,'*' ,'(' ,')' ,'+' ,'{' ,'}' ,'|' ,':' ,'"' ,'<' ,'>' ,'?' ,'[' ,']' ,'' ,';' ,"'" ,',' ,'_' ,'/' ,'*' ,'+' ,'~' ,'`' ,'=' ,' ' ,'---' ,'--','--'); 

$code_entities_replace = array('' ,'-' ,'-' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'-' ,'-' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'-' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'-' ,'-' ,'-' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'' ,'-' ,'-' ,'-','-'); 

$name = str_replace($code_entities_match, $code_entities_replace, $name); 
return $name; 
}

copy($_FILES["Filedata"]["tmp_name"], $path.clean_image_name($_FILES["Filedata"]["name"]))

 

That is the condensed version of where the issue seems to be. The cleaning function works perfectly as I also insert the cleaned name into my database, and it looks just as it should.

 

But, when the file is copied to the server its cleaned, but also has stripping characters.

For instance: Car's becomes Car\s.

 

Can someone tell me what I am missing here?
