## Null Bytes
|
||||
|
||||
A null byte `\0` denotes the end of a string in [C](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)). As PHP uses C for all it's
|
||||
filesystem related operations it means a filesystem path could be [null byte poisoned][2].
|
||||
|
||||
To prevent this it is important to remove any null bytes from filesystem paths, _especially_ if they come from user input:
|
||||
|
||||
$filepath = str_replace(chr(0), '', $_FILE['tmp_name']);
