Uploading image to 2 folders

[netfrugal]

I want to upload the same image to 2 different folders within my images folder, but it seems that after I use move_uploaded_file(), I can no longer reference that image from the temp folder again. This is my guess!

Below is what I am coding.
The image does indeed make it to the first folder, but not the second. And also, I am renaming the image with a random number + the extension. Not that it is important, but just in case someone asks what I'm doing.

<?

 $fileName = $_FILES['NEWFILE1']['name'];
 $tmpName = $_FILES['NEWFILE1']['tmp_name'];
 $fileSize = $_FILES['NEWFILE1']['size'];
 $fileType = $_FILES['NEWFILE1']['type'];


  $ext = findexts($_FILES['NEWFILE1']['name']) ;  

  $random = rand() . "."; // make a random file name


  $uploadDir1 = '/images/1/'; 
  $uploadDir2 = '/images/2/'; 

  $target1 = $uploadDir1 .'1_'. $random .$ext; // this is the path to the new image
  $target2 = $uploadDir2 .'1_'. $random .$ext; // this is the path to the new image


  $UPLOADresult1 = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $target1); 
  $UPLOADresult2 = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $target2); 

?>

Anyone got an idea of how I can upload 1 image to 2 separate folders? Or perhaps see what I can change in my code to allow for it?

Just do the move_uploaded_file() once, then do a [man]copy[/man] of that moved file to the other target.

PS: Note that using rand() for the filename does not guarantee that you will never have duplicate names. You might want to consider using [man]uniqid/man instead.

I like to do an md5() of the timestamp of the upload, myself, for a filename. If you have the potential for multiple people uploading at the same exact second, then consider microtime() instead of time() for a timestamp...
