file_exists() and &

[DarkPrince2005]

Hi Guys

 

I have a piece of code that  checks if a file exists in a location, and if it does to then display a specific icon.

 

The problem I'm having is that the file does exist but my code says it doesn't. The file name contains an & character.

 

Any solutions????

 

if(file_exists('quotes/'.htmlentities($row["Quote_ID"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["Client"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["QuoteRevision"]).'.pdf')){
						 echo '<a href="quotes/'.htmlentities($row["Quote_ID"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["Client"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["QuoteRevision"]).'.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="images/icons/pdf.png" border="0" title="View File" /></a>';
						 } else {
						 echo '<a href="quote_pdf.php?id='.htmlentities($row["Quote_ID"]).'&cid='.htmlentities($row["Client"]).'&rev='.htmlentities($row["QuoteRevision"]).'&redirect=quote_list"><img src="images/icons/pdf_inac.png" border="0" /></a>';
						 }

Yeah, check what file you're actually checking for.

 

htmlentities will convert & to &

What kind if result you got it :

echo basename('quotes/'.htmlentities($row["Quote_ID"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["Client"]).'-'.htmlentities($row["QuoteRevision"]).'.pdf');
