Oh, of course that makes sense, and I suppose the PHP move_uploaded_file() function has no problem with weird and crappy file names?

Well, erm, no.

I'd store the filename, etc. as-is in the database, and then link it with urlencode() and you should be able to serve a file called "A non friendly name!" site.com/A%20non%20friendly.. <http://site.com/A%20non%20friendly..>.. and a modern webserver should be fine with that, and even most browsers will allow you to type site.com/A <http://site.com/A> non friendly... without the url escaped characters and it will url escape them in the request. The only issue is that the urlencoded special characters are a lot uglier, which may or may not be a consideration for you.
