V4.2.x Image uploader in admin doesn't allow some punctuation

The image upload facility doesn’t work in the admin section if the image file name contains an appostrophe (and likely other special characters too such as #“* etc). I haven't tested whether the front-end image uploader has the same problem or not.

Unfortunately I have a large number images that all contain apostrophes and it will be a very lengthy task to change them all prior to uploading.

I've raised a support ticket for this about a week ago but I'm unsure how soon it will get addressed. Is anyone able to help me?

Ok, I think I may have fixed all by myself. Just after this in includes/classses/images/class_upload.php

$fileName = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9.-_]/", "", strtolower($fileName));

... Add this:

$fileName = str_replace ("\\", "", $fileName);

Hope this helps some people, as well as 68 Classifieds staff.
