On Windows, PHP will happily access files and directories with spaces...
?php
file_put_contents('My name is Richard.txt', 'Hello Richard');

If you intend to pass the filename to a command line tool, then the
filename must be wrapped with double quotes ...
?php
exec('tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
If you intend to pass the filename to a command line tool and the tool
has spaces in the name too, then you need to wrap both with quotes ...
?php
exec('C:\Program Files\tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
If you are using a version of PHP before V5.3.0, please read
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php#101579. Your code would
need to be ...
?php
exec('C:\Program Files\tool.exe My name is Richard.txt');
?
I've added some _ to that so you can easily see the single and double
quotes ... (they aren't part of the real code, just there to show you
the quotes) ...
?php
exec(_'___C:\Program Files\tool.exe__ __My name is Richard.txt___'_);

Like Richard said, you can use quotes if you're passing things to the shell, and also a backslash will work too. The only thing I would avoid if possible is spaces in paths that would reach the client side, i.e. in image paths, css files, etc, as I've heard historic browsers have trouble sometimes escaping the spaces automatically.

Re: [PHP] spaces - not sure if this is a preg_match issue or a regexp issue
Hi, I'm working on a script to look for a UUEncoded attachment in an NNTP message. I'm running into problems with spaces in the filename of the attachment. UUEncoded files in the body of a message will start with the word begin, then the size of the file, then the name of the file. Then the encoded file, finaly then a newline with only the word end like so: begin 644 photo.jpg -encoded image- end The script looks for that first line in that order so as not to confuse it with the word begin showing up somewhere else in the message. Here is the particular line of code that searches for that: if (preg_match(/^begin\s+[0-9][0-9][0-9]\s+(.+?)\s*\r?\n/m, $body)) The part where you fetch the file name (.+?)\s* is what is causing the problem as when the file name is a something.jpg then (.+?) matches a then \s matches the space and the rest is skipped. The problem I'm running into is with spaces in the file name. For example, if it starts with this: begin 644 a_nice_photo.jpg it works just fine, decodes the image and places it below the text of the message. But if the line looks like this: begin 644 a nice photo.jpg with spaces in the filename, the script seems to stop looking after the a, thinks this is just normal text in the message and doesn't decode the image. This results in the raw UUEncoded text showing up where the image should. I'm stumped. Any ideas? -Allen -- DeadTOm http://www.mtlaners.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] A Linux user since 1999.

The following seems to work for me.
?php
$body =
begin 644 photo.jpg
-encoded image-
end
;
if ( preg_match(/begin\s+[0-9]+\s+.+/, $body, $matches) ) {
echo found my pattern;
print_r($matches);
}
?
Is this inside a loop that you are scanning each line of the message? If not, I
am guessing that it was your '^' that told the regex to match from the beginning
of the string.
The problem I'm running into is with spaces in the file name. For example,
if it starts with this:
begin 644 a_nice_photo.jpg
it works just fine, decodes the image and places it below the text of the
message. But if the line looks like this:
begin 644 a nice photo.jpg
with spaces in the filename, the script seems to stop looking after the
a, thinks this is just normal text in the message and doesn't decode the
image. This results in the raw UUEncoded text showing up where the image
should.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] spaces vs nbsp; in form fields
The problem is that you have special characters that are interfering with the output. I had exactly the same problem a few weeks ago. Try this: $fixedOutputValue = htmlspecialchars($outputValue); print (input type=\text\ value=\$fixedOutputValue\ /); This is how I solved it. Note that putting htmlspecialchars($outputValue) in the value attribute will give you undesirable results.
