[Resolved] Changing files names

plasmahba

Does someone knows if this is possible?

I have an UPLOAD images page that works well and it saves the files correctly.

Those images have to be linked in certain way with a database so what I did is to create a field called images with the link of the folder where the image are.

When I upload the image I put a hidden field with the url so it will be inserted in that field.

Like this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="add.php?&ID=<? echo "$ID"; ?>" method="post">

//upload.php

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
Select image:
<input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input name="PhotoFile" type="hidden" value="http://localhost/mysite/images/<? echo "$userfile"; ?>" >
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

//add.php

$updating=mysql_query("UPDATE mydb
SET images='$images' WHERE ID='$ID'" );

My question is how can I add the name of the image at the end of the url (because the way I´m doing it is not working) and if there is a way to change the name of that image for a particular name.
For example 0001.jpg , 0002.jpg etc

Hope I've explained well

Any of your input is greatly appreciated.

Thanxs

<input name="userfile" type="file" />
<input name="PhotoFile" type="hidden" value="http://localhost/mysite/images/<? echo "$userfile"; ?>" >

Where is $userfile coming from? $_POST['userfile'] wont have a value until the file is uploaded.

Also, you should be able to use the variable you used when you saved the uploaded file.

If you're wanting to change of the filename as you save, use [man]move_uploaded_file[/man] and use the new filename there. If you're doing it after the "save", then use [man]rename[/man].

I'd have to see your code that handles the uploaded files to show you exactly what to do. You could always use the filename in $_FILES .

Hi thanx 4 your help

The code that handles the upload is

<?php
$uploaddir = 'c:\apache\htdocs\Mysite\images\';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File is valid. ";
print "Debugging info:\n";
print_r($FILES);
} else {
print "Failed:\n";
print_r($_FILES);
}
print "</pre>";

I read something about "rename". Should I put it after this code or before?

Thank u again

Adding to dnast you could combine filename with URL just like this

and then in your PHP

$url = "$PhotoFile/$_FILES['userfile']['name']";
