Re: [Bobs-devel] filename problems

I don't understand where these filenames with embedded newlines are coming from? I haven't ever seen a filename with an embedded newline. Is this a problem in class_restore.php? I'm planning to look at the configuration editor admin.php tonight to see if I can figure out what needs to be reworked. Please keep in mind I'm not familiar with the functioning of the php pages and classes you've written, so it takes me a while to get my head into it. More specifics on what I should work on would help, like which files or classes, what should change on admin.php, etc. I hope I can get some stuff done this weekend. It's over 100 degrees here (37.7 celsius), and I'm still lazy from vacationing. Joe Rene wrote: >Damn filenames... > >Filenames including newlines will not work properly.
