renaming problem

[raffael3d]

have been trying for hours to get this to work

  rename("$path$uploadedFile_name[$n]", "$path . time() . $uploadedFile_name[$n]");  

this does not work for some reason, the file name will appear as

. time() . r.jpg

why does time not work here as a function? I know its a quotation mark problem, but I tried every way possible and cant get it to work...

Try:

rename("$path$uploadedFile_name[$n]", "$path". time() ."$uploadedFile_name[$n]");

thanks a lot!

now the problem that remains is

I want to enter this name (it is of a multiple image upload script) into a database.

the rename function renames it, but how ca I list that name that it was renamed to out so I can enter it into the database like this?

$query = "INSERT INTO testing (img1,img2) VALUES ('$$fileName[$n])";

I am struggling with the [$n] part

[zabmilenko]

Like this?

$new_name = "$path". time() ."$uploadedFile_name[$n]";
rename("$path$uploadedFile_name[$n]", $new_name); 
$query = "INSERT INTO testing (img1) VALUES ('$new_name')";

I think I am misunderstanding your question. Be a bit more specific... ?
