Thanks
some answers:
turning magic quotes on and off seemed to make no difference
1. single quotes aren't important to me but this application allows users to
upload photos which often use descriptive filenames which sometimes have
single quotes eg. "my mum's car.jpg". I replace the spaces with underscores
but I can't get to the filename before the single quote and the text before
it have been stripped.
2. the original filename is only important insofar as it often has
descriptive information in it.
3. I can't really answer this question very well except to say that it
happens in my development environment (IE6 on win2k with apache on win2k) as
well as on my hosting server (IE6 on win2k and apache on linux).
you're a webdeveloper. please install firefox :-)

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)
