Rename file when uploading

[NZ_Kiwis]

I've got a basic code to upload a file. i also have a code to work out what the next row in the SQL table for this entry will be and i want to name the file after this... how do i change the name of a file while uploading??

so from "pic1.jpg" to now be "54.jpg"

Hey..
My Suggestion, if u got using something like name, id or watever u can assign the original name to it..for example current name = pic1.jpg, then the pic_id = 54, now u can select ur mysql table to get the id and assign back to it like $newpic = $row['id']..this is one of the way to do it..

place this after where the file is uploaded:

<?php
// just type replace the dir of the folder, and the string that holds the name of the file they uploaded ($file)
rename("/uploads/" . $file, "/uploads/54.jpg");
?>

That will rename the file on the server, after it was uploaded
