File Name Question

[GottaDiesel]

I have a script that uses a certain field to look for a file name on a server.

If the field reads: Cats

it looks for Cats.php

If the field reads: Cats and Dogs

it looks for Cats and Dogs.php

This all works like a charm and I love it.

Here's the question.

If the field reads: 3" Wide Boxes

I can't make the file called 3" Wide Boxes because it won't let me on account of the quote. Is there a way around this?

Thanks,

Pete

Here's the code that looks for the file based on the field:

Here's what I was told on another forum...

Dang if I know what it means:


look into str_replace() or use a regular expression function (preg_replace()) to convert multiple "bad" characters to "good" characters (or omit them)

Rename your file to "3 inch wide boxes" so you don't have to mess aorund trying to get the system to recognize the ' " ' symbol.

Learned about this cool command today:

rawurlencode()

So I did:

'includes/descriptions/'.rawurlencode($category['categories_name']).'.php';

and now my file names have to look like this:

3%22Inch%20Box.php

BUT... guess what... IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!!!
