[Resolved] renaming files on upload

[crawfd]

I'm trying to upload a file and at the same time remove any spaces in the filename. I have the following, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 
$newfile = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile']['name']); 
$newfile = str_replace(" ", "", $filename); 
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . $filename);

$newfile = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$newfile = str_replace(" ", "", $filename);

You're using $filename in the str_replace having put the filename into $newfile..

What's the solution?..............

Try and think it through. What does the first line do? Where is it getting its data frm and where are you putting the result? What does the second line do? Where is it getting its data from and where is it putting the result? Think it through again. Where exactly is stuff coming from and where is it going? Don't you see something wrong with this picture?

Now I get a result that says 'ARRAY' in place of the filename when I upload a file instead of the actual filename.

$newfile = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile']['name']);  

$thefile = str_replace(" ", "", $newfile);
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . $thefile);

Obviously. pathinfo() returns an array. Why are you using pathinfo() anyway?

$thefile = str_replace(" ", "", $_FILES['userfile']['name']);
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $path . $thefile);

Try that.

Thanks, works fine.
