Firefox has problems when downloading with a space in filename
filenames, firefox, php
Solution
The filename parameter should be enclosed in double quotes.
header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$filename.'"');
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Filenames_with_spaces_are_truncated_upon_download
Problem
It seems that firefox has a problem with spaces within the filename for downloading... ``` header( 'Content-Type: text/csv' ); header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment;filename='.$filename); $fp = fopen('php://output', 'w'); fputs($fp, $csvdata); fclose($fp); ``` Here is an example of a file named: `Test_ Grad Fair 2_20140129_1312_607.csv` When I attempt to download the file using the code above with FireFox the following occurs. (the main problem is it removes the file extension!) And when I try downloading it from Safari, or Chrome: I know a solution would be to maybe do something like: ``` $filename = str_replace(' ', '', $filename); ``` However, I prefer to figure out why FireFox is having this problem, it seems kinda ridiculous that you can't have a space in a filename. Could this be like a `%20` instead of a space problem?
