Strip Out (')

[Dysan]

Hi,

 

I have the following code that uploads a file. If the files filename contains one or more ('), how do I take these out before upload?

 

For example if the file to be upload has the following filename:

 

david's house.jpg

 

how do I change it so the uploaded file's filename is:

 

davids house.jpg

 

<?php

if ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
{
  if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
  {
    echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
    echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
    echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
    echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";

    if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
    {
      echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " Already Exists! ";
    }
    else
    {
      move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      $path = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $path;

      mysql_query("INSERT INTO images (path)
      VALUES('$path')");
    }
  }
}
else
{
  echo "Invalid File!";
  echo $_FILES["file"]["type"];
}
?>

$str = str_replace("'",$str);

I'm sure you mean

$str = str_replace('\'', '', $str);

[kenrbnsn]

It can be written as either

<?php
$str = str_replace('\'','',$str);
?>

or

<?php
$str = str_replace("'",'',$str);
?>
