Uploading File with Apostrophe in filename

[ianatkins]

When uploading a file with an apostrophe in the filename wordpress returns a 'HTTP Error' message.

I have replicated this on two separate installs of wordpress, on different LAMP hosting environments.

The filename used for testing was Trend_Forecaster's_Handbook_1.jpg

#22695 was marked as a duplicate.

Tested in trunk and file is uploaded, but name is crippled: "s_Handbook_1.jpg"

Replying to pavelevap:

Confirmed. Not a new bug though, tested 2.0.11 and it's the same there.

This is what $_FILES looks like:

Array
(
    [async-upload] => Array
        (
            [name] => s_Handbook_1.jpg
            [type] => image/jpeg
            [tmp_name] => S:\tmp\phpCB2.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 16658
        )

)

Appears to be a PHP bug: ​https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31398

The workaround is to disable magic_quotes_gpc.

Thanks for investigating Sergey. Is it possible to catch this earlier and throw a more useful error message to the end user?
