What the above seems to be doing is replace:
a series of one or more punctuation marks FOLLOWED BY
a series of one or more spaces
Which is not what you want. Presumably anything which isn't alphanumeric is
classed as either space or punctuation? If so:
I prefer preg_replace so try:
$SAFEFILENAME = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/', '', $FILENAME);
