escapeshellarg() works quite well, why you say its still failed? did u try?
do a
<?php echo escapeshellarg('Dir That (Won't Move)/'); ?>
will produce
'Dir That (Won'\''t Move)'
and this does fit into shell, even `(' and `)' is not escaped,
for in bash, all thing quoted in single quote will be treated as one
whole string and any meta character wont be interpreted by the shell.
so , please first try, then post your problem.
