If we are talking about a simple post, I don't see the issue. In the
following code (as gobots.php), I can type in period characters all day long
and it always returns just fine. What the heck are you guys talking about?
<?php
if (isset($textguy))
{
echo $textguy;
}
echo ' <form method="POST" action="gobots.php">
<input type="text" name="textguy" size="20"><input type="submit"
value="Submit" name="B1">
<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2">
</form> ' ;
?>

You can still do so.
Just reverse the string. Replace the first occurance of "_" with ".".
Re-reverse the string.
Now you have a Filename.
