remove special characters in uploaded file URL

[nicolefou@…]

Add the following line in the /filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/commands.php file in order to replace all characters unreadable in an URL by an underscore (_)

In function FileUpload around line 143 after

// Get the uploaded file name.
$sFileName = $oFile['name'] ;
$sOriginalFileName = $sFileName ;

#### LINE TO ADD ####

$sFileName = eregi_replace("[^a-z0-9.]", "_", $sFileName);

Could be a lot improved because it only keep the numerical and alphabetical characters and the point (for file extension) but it was enough for my need ;-)

Cheers Nicolas

This issue is described in #1842, so closing this one.

It is generally not a good idea to remove all characters other than [a-z0-9.] to get rid of that problem.
