Can't upload pics with "~"

[FansCityEu]

Hi,
I'm trying to upload a picture with batch with this name: 01~242.jpg and it gives me this error (I'm translating it from Spanish so it's similar): "Only files with the following extensions are accepted" and it includes .jpg, if I remove the ~ it works but if not it gave me that error. I have downloaded and uploaded (on ftp) to many pictures to change each one.. :/ What Can I do?

Update you Coppermine installation to the latest version.

Hi,
I have the latest: 1.5.30

Update you Coppermine installation to the latest version.

I've tried to replicate your problem but on my installation of 1.5.30 it functions without any error.

I think it's something related with the server or maybe because I'm using GD instead of Imagemagick :/ I don't know but I hate it.

Hold on ... I've been able to replicate your issue.  Give me a few hours to come up with a solution for you.

Thank you so much!

Sorry I couldn't get to this sooner ...

This interim patch for the issue you are experiencing is not official.

In the file searchnew.php at about line #106 change:

Code Select Expand

    $encoded_picfile = base64_encode($picfile);
to:

Code Select Expand

    $encoded_picfile = urlencode(base64_encode($picfile));

And in the file showthumb.php at about line #141 change:

Code Select Expand

$matches = $superCage->get->getMatched('picfile', '/^[0-9A-Za-z\/\\\\_.-\s]+$/');
to: (add a tilde [~] after the lowercase z)

Code Select Expand

$matches = $superCage->get->getMatched('picfile', '/^[0-9A-Za-z~\/\\\\_.-\s]+$/');


Anything official involving this would be pending whether ~'s are to be acceptably allowed in file names.

I don't see a reason to disallow the tilde, as it's also used for the HTTP upload forms:

Code (db_input.php) Select Expand

    while (file_exists($dest_dir . $picture_name)) {
        $picture_name = $matches[1] . '~' . $nr++ . '.' . $matches[2];
    }

I'll have a closer look at your patch and add it to our SVN repository, if applicable.

It worked! Thank you so much
