[SOLVED] problem with spaces

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I have a simple sql statement that pulls a list of files from a sql table, I then print the name of each filename using

print $rows[filename];

 

This works fine, unless a filename has a spae in it and then it reads everything up to the space.

 

For example, a filename which prints ok looks like

 

image1.jpg

 

but if there is a space for example

 

image 1.jpg

 

then it prints

 

image

 

and forgets everything after the space.

 

Is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks

just do:

$rows[filename] = preg_replace(" ", "_", $rows[filename]);

 

That should work (it will put a _ where ever a space is), but im not an expert as regex and things like this.

It would help if you showed us the code that is having this effect

Hi

 

My code looks like

 

if ($rows[type] == 'application/pdf' || $rows[type] == 'text/plain')
	{
		print '<p style=margin-top:5px><strong><a href=file_uploads/'.$rows[filename].' target=_blank>View \ Download File</a></strong></p>';

	}

 

So if a filename has a space in it, then it ignore everything after the space

 

Does that help?

its your bad coding lol.

should be:

print '<p style=margin-top:5px><strong><a href="file_uploads/'.$rows[filename].'" target="_blank">View \ Download File</a></strong></p>';
