glenelkins Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi Does addslashes() work with filenames as well as mysql information? As a current project requires folders to be created from input that will contain special ( file system illegal )chars cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 From the manual: Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be quoted in database queries etc. These characters are single quote ('), double quote ("), backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte).

GingerRobot Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No. A backslash is only an escape character in mysql etc. It wont work with special characters in the filename. Apart from anything else, the backslash IS a character which is not allowed in a filename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
