Folder Name Function

Hi group!

I have a code to process text, to make it url/folder fiendly. (code
below)
The only problem i have, is that the
$foldername = ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:] ]","",$foldernam e);
part deletes all spaces, but as you can see, i want spaces to become
underscores,
which are no ALNUM-chars.
How can i solve this?

Greetings Frizzle.

///// C O D E /////

$foldername = stripslashes ( $_POST['foldername'] );
//This erase white-spaces on the beginning and the end:
$foldername = preg_replace('~ ^(\s*)(.*?)(\s* )$~m', "\\2", $foldername);
// replace all weird chars
$special_chars =
array('À','Á',' Â','Ã','Ä','Å', 'Ç','È','É','Ê' ,'Ë','Ì','Í','Î ','Ï','Ñ','Ò',' Ó','Ô','Õ','Ö', 'Ù','Ú','Û','Ü' ,'Ý','à','á','â ','ã','ä','å',' ç','è','é','ê', 'ë','ì','í','î' ,'ï','ñ','ò','ó ','ô','õ','ö',' ù','ú','û','ü', 'ý','ÿ','C','c' ,'C','c');
$special_replac ements =
array('A','A',' A','A','A','A', 'C','E','E','E' ,'E','I','I','I ','I','N','O',' O','O','O','O', 'U','U','U','U' ,'Y','a','a','a ','a','a','a',' c','e','e','e', 'e','i','i','i' ,'i','n','o','o ','o','o','o',' u','u','u','u', 'y','y','C','c' ,'C','c');
$foldername = str_replace($sp ecial_chars, $special_replac ements,
$foldername);
//erases all NON-alfanumerics
$foldername = ereg_replace("[^[:alnum:] ]","",$foldernam e);
// take out repetative spaces:
$foldername = preg_replace('/\s\s+/', ' ', $foldername);
$foldername = preg_replace('/\s/', '_', $foldername);
$foldername = strtolower($fol dername);
if ($foldername == ""){$folder name = "untitled"; }

Hi, I am trying to find a VB way that would create a folder on all existing drives - the folder name would be the same on each drive. ie c:\backup, d:\backup, etc. But the folders would only be created if they don't already exist, and if the drive happens to be one a folder cannot be created on (ie a cdrom drive) it would just be skipped without the code generating any errors. your help on this would be most appreciated. jenny

However, I put it onto a system that uses AccessXP. And it chokes on...

Hi All, I want to browse to a particular folder, not a particular file. The reason for this is that I have a utility that asks people to browse to a certain file, and I want them to be able to choose the location that they start browsing. Thanks in advance.

I have an Access application on a terminal server. Sometimes my users need to export reports to pdf, rtf or xls files and save them to their own client device hard drives. They can do that right now the way I have this set up, but it's confusing and slow. When they browse for a place to save the reports, they see all of the drives on the terminal server as well as their own client drives. So they're likely to want to choose "My...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
