I have the potential for strings where the string will contain a front slash; index_Foo_Communications_c/o_Bar_Enterprises_20050718 I want to use the string to name a text file index_Foo_Communications_c/o_Bar_Enterprises_20050718.txt but it always fails to open the file because of the front slash. I have completely brain farted on how to escape this (perhaps only 2 hours of sleep last night) and I cannot find what I am looking for in the manual. addslashes? mysql_real_escape_string? nope...nope...ack. Coffee...where is the coffee? What do you mean, "I didn't make any more?" Are you new here?
I'd say it would be best to keep that slash out of the filename. Do a regex on the string before doing anything else....
