using for loop with str_replace & $_files array

Ok I am trying to get these loops figured out

I have 10 files $_FILES['pic1-10']

I need to to run str_replace on all 10 to eliminate any oddities " ","%20"
to clean up the filenames before inserting names in db.

foreach ($_FILES as $n) {
$name=$n["name"]
str_replace( " ", "",$name)

now how do I get it read back into $_FILES['pic1']['name'] ???

Eric,
A general technique for handling the write back would be to
set a counter inside the foreach loop
This could be used to access the sub arrays

Viz:

$x = 0;
foreach ($_FILES as $n) {
$name=$n["name"];
str_replace( " ", "",$name);
$_FILES[$x]['name'] = $name ;
$x++;
}


This WILL work for user defined arrays but I haven't tried loading a PHP
superglobals array as I regard them as read only.

You could just urlencode the filenames before inserting them in the db, then
you don't have to do complicated things with them...
