[SOLVED] File Renaming/Extracting

[mcmuney]

I'm using a script to upload photos, during the upload it adds additional information to the original filename, for example:

 

$_GET['file_name']=$time."_".$mem_id._.$_GET['file_name'];
$rfn=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/images/".$_GET['file_name'];

 

So, if the filename was abc.jpg, it will upload it as 1177799496_1_abc.jpg.

 

PROBLEM: When there's a [] in the file name, like abc[1].jpg, having the [] causes a load issue. What can I add to remove the [] from the file during the rename process?

 

Thanks in advance.

Use strtr() function:

 

echo strtr($filename, '[]', '__');

 

It will replace the square brackets with underscores.
