PHPRunner General questions

I am using PHPRunner 6.1 (build 11708).
I built a system for a client where his employees can upload receipts as jpg files.
They are using names like "Dinner with Bill & John.jpg"
The files will not show up in PHPRunner because of the spaces and the & sign.
How do I fix this so it will either accept files named like that OR rename them (files) and rename them in the database.

You can do both renaming and file name validation in BeforeAdd event. Check this article for inspiration:

my ID is a key so I changed the $values to $keys as listed in the instructions at http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/rename_uploaded_file.htm'>http://xlinesoft.com/phprunner/docs/rename_uploaded_file.htm
global $pageObject;
foreach( $pageObject->filesToMove as $key=>$val)
{
if($pageObject->filesToMove[$key]->sourceFilename==$_FILES["valueFieldName".postvalue("id")]["tmp_name"])
$pageObject->filesToMove[$key]->destFilename= $keys["id"].".jpg";
}
$keys["filename"] = $values["ID"].".jpg";
I got this error back
"undefined variable: keys"

Make sure you add this code to correct event where $keys array is defined.
Also $keys["filename"] doesn't make sense if "filename" is not a key column.
