UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Another easy one for Zanardi!!??!?!

I am using the Upload hack with UBB Code Buttons, and I see the code where it checks to verify .jpg or .gif, but what I want to do is check for SPACES in the names of the files people are trying to upload. I am too shy to post what code I have come up with It doesn't work anyway....Whaddya think?

try:

if ($imagename =~ / /sg) {
.. do stuff ..
}

I dunno, Mark could probably make a 1 line, 1 character statement

die 'Contains spaces and those are bad' if($image_name =~ / /);

or to make the spaces nice characters

$image_name =~ tr/ /_/g;

:: Who is Andy?

$image_name =~ y! !_!;

That's just for !atom!..

Dontcha love perl and it's 1,000s ways to do one thing?

$imagename =~ m!s+! ? dobadsub() : dogoodsub();


This one is just for fun.

my $am_i = [split /s+/, $imagename];
ref($am_i) =~ /ARRAY/ ? with_spaces_sub() : without_spaces_sub();

y and tr do the same thing, as well as ! !_! and / /_/

Yup, they both transliterate. It's a joke between Andy and I. I prefer to use '!' as a limiter/delimiter on pattern matching (I find it easier to read and to find later.).

Plus, you don't need the /g at the end of the pattern match when using 'y' - as it transliterate's the string anyway.
