Question

After file upload, I am renaming with this code (in CI)

rename ( "./upload/temp/{$data1['upload_data']['client_name']}", "./upload/$filename" );

but there are any space in file name it’s gives this massage, like for file name “New Text Document (2).txt” the massage is

Message: rename(./upload/temp/New Text Document (2).txt,./upload/4.txt) [function.rename]: No error

How I can fix this?

You should probably replace all spaces with \ (backslash + space), for example:

$toRename = str_replace(
                array(' ', '(', ')'),  
                array('\ ', '\(', '\)'),  
                $data1['upload_data']['client_name']
);

rename(
    './upload/temp/' . $toRename,
    './upload/' . $filename
);
