preg_* need a pattern deliminater (most commonly /,#, or !) so it should be:
preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z0-9,._\+\()\-]/",$filename)
Now you can get rid of all the escapes because mosts characters loose
their special meaning inside a character class:
preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z0-9,._+()-]/",$filename)
You can get away without escaping the '-' because it *can't* be
considered a range of characters since it is last (or if its
first).
That should work.
