Why not use JFile::getExt($filename) with uploads was created by Gosling Cools

Hi,

Is there a reason why you don't use JFile::getExt($filename) and JFile::stripExt($filename) in the \tables\XXXXX.php files?
For instance a filename with multiple dots will explode wrongly with your code:

//Replace any special characters in the filename
                  $filename = explode('.', $file['name']);
                  $filename[0] = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $filename[0]);

Regards,

Gosling

Hi Gosling,

Thank you for pointing out this issue. We have patched our system to use Joomla functions instead of PHP ones.

Best regards,

Thanks!

But now there's an error in the code.

This line:

$filename[0] = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $filename);

Should be

$filename = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/i", "-", $filename);

And this line:

$filename = md5(time()) . '-' . array($filename, '.', $extension);

Shoud/could be:

$filename = md5(time()) . '_' . $filename . '.' . $extension;

Regards,

Gosling

And now remove the last ) please in:

//Add Timestamp MD5 to avoid overwriting
$filename = md5(time()) . '-' . $filename . '.' . $extension);
