Question

I have files that i upload to the website that might contain spaces such as:

    file name 1.wav

It displays normally when uploaded, however when trying to download the file from Chrome and Firefox i get the following results:

  Chrome downloaded: file name 1.wav (perfect)
  firefox downloaded: file (bad) 

name 1.wav was removed from name. Is there any specific functionality in PHP that will fix this problem in firefox?

CODE:

   <?= str_replace(array("'",'"'), array("&#39;","&quot;"), stripslashes($sFileTitle)) ?>', '<?=$f['fileExtension']?>'

This is what shows up when i inspect the element on anchor tag where file should be downloaded:

  <a title="file name 1.wav" fileid="254" class="docLink">file name 1.wav</a>

i use JQuery to redirect to the correct path.

FIX:

Adding urlencode($file) fixed it but arose a new problem. Now file with name

    file name 1.wav

turns into when downloading:

    file+name+1.wav

is it possible to replace + with space once downloading? urldecode didnt work

Solution:

if someone else having same problem here is how i fixed it:

instead of urlencode/decode i just did this:

 '"' . stripslashes($file) . '"'

and it fixed it
