Hi
When uploading files using a type=file in a form, if a file is uploaded with
a single quote the file gets truncated to whatever is after the quote
eg.
blah'sblah.txt

will be uploaded as
sblah.txt

Is this a magic quotes issue?

I don't think so, test it by turning it on/off.


What is the best way to deal with it?

couple of questions:

1. are single quotes really necessary in filenames?
2. is the original filename really that important to you?
3. does this happen on just one browser/[client]platform? it could be
a browser bug (i.e. it gets stripped on the clientside which would means thats
its nothing to do with a PHP bug/setting/feature/misunderstanding/etc)
