I was experiencing a problem where the variable "strUserFolderName" was set to empty during the fileUpload Function. I note that in the function the variable is sent ByRef - is this wise?

Regards Frank

Private Function fileUpload(ByVal strFileUploadPath, ByVal saryFileUploadTypes, ByVal intMaxFileSize, ByVal strUploadComponent, ByRef lngErrorFileSize, ByRef blnExtensionOK, ByRef strUserFolderName)

Please disregard the previous claim. It is however the characterStrip() function (in functions_filters.asp) which appears to be faulty. it always returns null. has anyone else seeen this? i wrote a utility to write out the contents of variables and this is the result

'strUserFolderName="username"
strUserFolderName = decodeString(strUserFolderName)
'strUserFolderName="username"
strUserFolderName = characterStrip(strUserFolderName)
'strUserFolderName=""

This is in upload_files.asp & upload_images.asp & upload_avatars.asp

Comments would be welcome.
Frank

Further investigations reveal - does it make a difference that I have changed Session.Codepage=65001 because I am using charset "UTF-8" and that is why characterStrip is failing?
