Upload an Image with Special Chars

lstables

Hi,


I have created a module for "products" and all work fine, but if i upload an image that looks something like:

myimage_&^%$@_1.png it will not upload, where can I change this function to allow any characters within an image upload?

Thanks in advance.

Are you getting an error message or is the image simply not appearing to be uploaded? Also, is it possibly uploaded but with the special characters removed? FUEL uses the url_title function to clean file names up. This function is applied in the fuel/modules/fuel/controllers/module.php _process_uploads method

no error message and if the image is something like image_123-another.jpg it wont upload, something clearly to do with santize.

Try adding to your module config the parameter: sanitize_images => FALSE

Actually it was set to false, so I set it to true and works just fine now! Thanks anyway.

Hmm... that's the opposite of what I would think. The sanitize_images parameter will run the xss_clean function on images which can sometimes generate a "false positive" and not properly upload the image. However, come to think of it, you would have gotten an error message stating that it wasn't uploading. Also, if the file is bigger then the Apache configured max_upload size, it will appear to have uploaded without any errors but will actually fail silently.
