PHP Upload adding underscore to the spaces (filename) how to?

[Darkwoods]

hey.. when i upload a file named with spaces like for example ''file name.jpg'' it does not send the full name to mysql it just send 'file' plus  to make a link to it it wont work because no % in spaces so the best thing is to put underscore in spaces but how what are codes thanks

 

herer is the upload page

<?php
include "inc/header.php";
  
   $id = $_GET['id'];
   if(isset($_POST['submit']))
  {

//global variables
include "inc/variables.php";
$name=$_POST['name'];
$pic=($_FILES['downl']['name']);


	$result = mysql_query("UPDATE contents SET title_en='$title_en', title_ar='$title_ar', en='$en', ar='$ar', cat='$cat', downl='$pic', name='$name' WHERE id='$id' ",$connect);
	  echo "<b>Your post have been added successfully";
          echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=2;url=index.php>";
}

//the directory where images will be saved
$target = "uploads/downloads/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['downl']['name']);


//Writes the filedw to the server
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['downl']['tmp_name'], $target))
{

//Tells you if it the upload were done
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['downl']['name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory";
}

        $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contents WHERE id='$id' ",$connect);
        while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
             {
			$title_ar = $row["title_ar"];
                $title_en = $row["title_en"];
                $en = $row["en"];
                $ar= $row["ar"];
