PHP ereg_replace

I have this file that I am uploading to the server via php file upload..

6;'!8.jpg

I used this code to remove non alphanumeric characters..

$image1 = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9]", "", $_FILES["image"]["name"]);

that works fine, but it returns my image like this

68jpg

What would be the best way to return this as 68.jpg

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Don't use ereg/eregi. These functions are deprecated. Use PCRE functions instead.

    Try this way

    $image1 = preg_replace("#[^a-z0-9\.]#i", null, $_FILES["image"]["name"]);
