file_munge_filename

Versions
6 – 7: file_munge_filename($filename, $extensions, $alerts = TRUE)

Modify a filename as needed for security purposes.

Dangerous file names will be altered; for instance, the file name "exploit.php.pps" will become "exploit.php_.pps". All extensions that are between 2 and 5 characters in length, internal to the file name, and not included in $extensions will be altered by adding an underscore. If variable 'allow_insecure_uploads' evaluates to TRUE, no alterations will be made.

Parameters

$filename File name to modify.

$extensions A space-separated list of extensions that should not be altered.

$alerts If TRUE, drupal_set_message() will be called to display a message if the file name was changed.

Return value

The potentially modified $filename.
