Changing filename BEFORE uploading?

[Anon]

Is there a way to change a file's filename before moving it to it's permanent directory in a file upload? If not what's the best way to change a file's filename after uploading? Thanks in advance.

When you call move_uploaded_file(), or copy(), just rename it by passing a destination path with a different file name.

What he wrote, but heres some actual code to help:

$newlocation = '/some/where';
$newname = 'blah_and_duh.file';
$newnamelocation = "$newlocation/$newname";
copy($thefile,$newnamelocation);

I broke up the assignments to make it read easier, and also you can use those vars later for other Stuffª.

Thanks a ton. I had no idea it was that simple! If I did I would have never asked. It works great - thanks a lot everyone.
