Thanks for that help! Now I am getting an interesting error that I am not
sure what to make of.
Warning: REG_ERANGE in /home/httpd/www/worldvibe.org/digitall/edit_f.php on
line 91
Here are lines surrounding 91:
89-> strtolower($f_loc_name);
90-> $f_loc_new = "";
91-> $f_loc_new = ereg_replace("[^[_a-z0-9-\.]]", "", $f_loc_name);
92-> $f_loc_name = "";
93-> $f_loc_name = $f_loc_new;
I have tried tow other variations of line 91, and both of them do not seem
to work the way I am hoping for.
I have (since the last message, decided to remove the offending characters,
rather than replace them with an underscore (hence the ""). Below is an
example of what I am trying to accomplish:
Test_File#()*#$.txt should be converted to test_file.txt
TEST.file.#####.txt should be converted to sean.coyle..txt
I am not all that great with regular expressions, so any help I can get on
this is greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Sean
