Copy and auto increment filename

[Anon]

Help!!! I have the following code in my php page.

$filename = ("image" . $id . ".jpg");
copy($image, "/path/pics/$filename);

         $filesize=filesize($image);
         $filetype=filetype($image);

I want to copy this jpg file, give it an id number which matches the record and gives it an extension of ".jpg". It copies the file, puts it into the correct directory, shows the picture, and even gives it an extension. What it doesn't do is give it a unique id number. Where did I go wrong?

how are you initializing the value of $id?

what does $id get substituted with?

Uh... where exactly are you thinking the random number is coming from? your code doesn't seem to do anything with a random number. Perhaps you should look into how you are setting $id.

$id is auto incremented unique identifier for the table. I want the picture name to include the id number.

[Anon]

could you be more specific?

I mean, can you show the code which says $id = something, so that we can look to see if there is a problem in initializing the $id variable.

another thing to do is to print the value of $id before naming the image filename. This way you'll know whether $id is NULL or not.
