Hi Marian, You use $photofile in the filter, but use $photofile_name and $photofilename in the copy. Is there any other code inbetween?

I need to strip illegal characters out of an uploaded photo now. I am trying this without results: $photofile=ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:]+$]", "", $_POST['photo']); copy($photo, "/home/user/public_html/memberfiles/$photofile_name"); // copy($photo, "/home/user/public_html/memberfiles/$photofilename"); But, it isn't working. I doesn't seem to want to change that filename, copy the file to the new name. Help! I have people who are uploading pix with spaces and it's screwing everything up.... ------------------------ Yahoo!
