Code: Select all
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['avatar']['tmp_name'];
This is what is passed thru from the form, via
Some people are uploading them with spaces and it is causing problems elsewhere in my code.
So I want to stop them and suggest them remove spacing.
I know how to query it for spacing, via pregmatch or preg_replace, but how do I query the variable itself?
I can't query $uploadedfile, or $avatar.

oooo this might work...
$pic=($_FILES['avatar']['name']);
echo "$pic";
It produces the filename.
