[Resolved] Rename failed

plasmahba

Hello!

I´m trying to rename an url when I upload a file but I get a Warning: Rename failed (No such file or directory)

This is my code
<?php

$uploaddir = 'c:\apache\htdocs\mysite\myimages\';
$uploadnewdir = "http://localhost/mysite/myimages/";
rename ('uploaddir', 'uploadnewdir');
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

//$url = $PhotoFile/$FILES['userfile']['name'];
print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_file($FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File uccessfully uploaded. ";
print_r($FILES);
} else {
print "Failed:\n";
print_r($FILES);
}
print "</pre>";

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any of your input is greatly appreciated.

You cant rename filepath to URL... besides URL renaming is a new feature in PHP 5.... rename() renames a filename not path

$uploaddir = 'some.jpg';
$uploadnewdir = 'newsome.jpg';
rename ($uploaddir, $uploadnewdir);

You could do something like this but not FilePath to URL

Anyways... wat are u trying to do... wat are u expecting from rename() function?

Hi!

I´m trying to rename the url because when I upload an image I have to insert with a hidden input the url in a database.

But like the script above, with the Update I get something in the field like

http://localhost/mysite/myimages/c \apache\htdocs\mysite\myimages\

I also tried <? echo "$_FILES"; ?>

and I get
http://localhost/mysite/myimages/Array

How can I get only the name of the file?

Thanx

I could do it at last

What I did is to change the upload srcipt from
$uploaddir = 'c:\apache\htdocs\mysite\myimages\';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

$uploaddir = 'c:\apache\htdocs\mysite\myimages\';
$uploadfile = $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
$uploading = $uploaddir . $uploadfile;

And that way i could do this correctly getting only the file name

Thanxs
