Hi Everyone,

I am very to this forum and I hope to find my answer to the question I have. I have a php file which is responsible to upload files to my server after a form is submitted. At the moment when someone upload a file with a name that has space when an email is sent to me the link to the file is sent broken! Therefore when I click on the link to view the file and download it it gives me a 404 error.

Can anyone check the code below and tell me what needs to be added to have any files uploaded to have the hyphen added to them as well as the link sent to me has the correct name (with hyphens) so when downloading it works fine?

<?php
include("class.phpmailer.php");

$mail = new PHPMailer();

$EmailFrom = "info@fireflylocums.com"; //info@fireflylocums.com
$EmailTo   = "uk.hamza@gmail.com"; // jeannine@fireflylocums.com
$Subject   = "A message from Firefly Locums Website";
$Title	   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Title']));
$Firstname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Firstname'])); 
$Surname   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Surname'])); 
$Address   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Address']));
$Postcode  = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Postcode']));
$Email     = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); 
$Daytime   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Daytime']));
$Evening   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Evening']));
$Mobile    = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Mobile']));
$Current   = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Current']));
$Sought    = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Sought']));
$Additional= Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Additional']));

Thank you in advance.

Encode the spaces (and other characters) within the link:

$mail->Body = $Body . " http://www.fireflylocums.co.uk/files/" . 
    urlencode($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

the docs

Thank you Andrew for your time. I am a bit not too sure what I shall be doing,

Could you kindly state what code exactly needs to be added? I have added the line you have posted and didn't work for me!

[andrewsw]

Are you saying then the link in the email does not download the file when clicked?

Check that file is saved in the correct location and with the correct filename by looking for it in your /files folder. Then check that the link in your email points to the same file and location; if you have added urlencode() as I suggested then spaces in the filename and path will be replaced with %20.

Hi Andrew

Thanks for the reply. I have added the code and it stayed the same. I receive a broken link for example www.domain.com/files/cv test.dox the link direct you to the whole path excluding test.docx because on the email it shows broken!

It doesn't add the %20

[andrewsw]

Try rawurlencode. Otherwise, post the file name as path (where it is stored on the server) and the link as it appears in the email.

Andrew,

Thank you very much Andrew, that seems to do the trick, Actually the first post you made worked it was just me not paying attention where I should have added the urlencode!

Thanks again
