Why would you get an error when copying? copy(), fopen() and all the
rest should work fine with filenames-with-spaces.

strtr () is for "TRanslating" strings between character sets, i.e. it
replaces single characters with single other characters
strtr ($SomeString, "abc", "qwe");
will replace all "a" with "q", all "b" with "w" and all "c" with "e"

Well, as I said above you shouldn't need this, and in fact this could
become a quite unstable solution. You escape spaces - but what about
filenames containing tabs, newlines etc?
copy () takes care of that automatically.
