Dude,

The # symbol is a comment symbol in PHP and can be URL encoded to %23.

Subject: [PHP] Need help...silly customer

OK, I have the customer from hell here. I created a script for her that
allows her to add featured items, including an image.

I tested it pretty well, except that all the images that the php script
uploads has no special characters. So, she uploads an image that has a
special character in the name and the image link won;t work. Of course.

what happens is that the image uploads and puts a time stamp in front of it.
I thought that was nice since she could have duplicate image names.

At this point the whole name is written to the database with the proper
spaces and special characters.

When the file is moved to the correct directory by the script, the name is
maintained with the spaces and special characters.

The problem is the number sign she insists on using!!!! She wants to name
them "Sofa #184-8.JPG".
The browser must interpret the # sign as something else. I can not remember
the name of that.

Is there a way around this?

TIA,
Shane
