Need to urlencode() but...without the url encoding part.

[br3nn4n]

I have this file name:

 

0 John's crap.wps

 

I have my coding set up so that it displays a table of files, with a link to /files/(filename) and a delete file link. Obviously, that ' in the name prevents me from linking to the file since php stops outputting after it hits it, and I get a link to "0 John".

 

How can I fix this? Thanks!

In your script, where you actually read each filename.  Before you do anything with that data, you need to use addslashes

 

The following modified example readdir should work:

if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
    while (false !== ($file = addslashes(readdir($handle)))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            echo "$file\n";
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

 

Basically, it adds a backslash before any single or double quotes in the filename returned before PHP tries to read the information.

 

Good luck,
