Slashes in file:// links

[andersnielsen]

Hi there,

I've got a feature that I'd like to get rid of... If I create a link with a file://\\testserver\testdir\test.ppt it automatically appends a \ (backslash) at the end, so the link is changed to file://\\testserver\testdir\test.ppt\ instead.

That's a problem, as it then kindof ruins the file:// link :-/

I KNOW that the Windows way of specifiying links with \\ in href's aren't correct, but the users of my forum insists of doing it that way

Is there some way of getting rid of that backslash at the end of the link?!

Thanks
Anders

My fault - it doesn't append a \ - it appends a / ! Big difference...

Hi,

I'll test this issue.

Windows tends to have troubles with file commands to \\server\share types, anyway. I've found that you usually have to map network drives, which unfortunately are user-specific. Sometimes I've even had to make null-session shares, which are insecure. Does the problem happen if you map the drive, too?

HI,

I only test phpMyFAQ on my Windows XP laptop and with no network shares. I will try to emulate your problem...
