Changing Upload File Names

planetsim

Ok.. I will be using move_uploaded_file() to upload i can do all that check if its a certain size, and find out if its jpg.. or Not. Even get image width and height...

But i cant seem to be able to change the name of a file to say memberid name so if my memberid is 90.. and my file is jpg..

to make it id90.jpg

Can someone help me here.. This seems pretty stupid of me not to know

What's the syntax you're using?

I've never tried to use move_uploaded_file. The docs seem to indicate you would use:

move_uploaded_file($userfile, 'id90.jpg');

I've used something like this:

if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
   $userfile = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];
   if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] > $MAX_FILE_SIZE)
   {
      echo "File too big.  Max size is $MAX_FILE_SIZE bytes<br>";
   }
   else
   {
      // massage the name all you like here
      $userfile = preg_replace("/\s*/", "", $userfile);
   copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "$filepath/$userfile");
   }
}

Yes the way you show the upload is kinda like that

$download is the var

move_uploaded_file($download,"$destination/$download_name");

we have $download_name so its not the temp name. All i wont to do it change $download_name and keep the exact extention but change the file name to like id90.jpg or id12.gif so i dont have multiple files with the same name..

Should be as simple as:

// do whatever you like to come up with $download_name...
$filename = split('.', strrev($download));
$ext = strrev($filename[0]);
$download_name = 'id' . $memberid . '.' . $ext;

move_uploaded_file($download,"$destination/$download_name");

Thanks Never thought of that..

Ok i changed it a little so the code is much smaller here is what i got..

$memberid=1;
$ext = explode(".", $download_name);
$download_name = 'id' . $memberid . '.' . $ext[1];
$destination = "C:/apache/htdocs";
move_uploaded_file($download,"$destination/$download_name");
