Rename image!

[muckerz]

Hey guys, just after a bit of help with a script i'm building...

Basically its an image upload type script... the details of the file being uploaded are written to a mysql database and the file is copied to the server.

The bit i want help with is renaming the file once its uploaded to the server.

My script for saving the file looks like this:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["link"]["tmp_name"],
"library/" . $_FILES["link"]["name"]);

Instead if the file being retaining its original name, i want to instead give it a name stored in a variable ($thisida).
I do need to maintain the extention however.

Can anyone help me out with this? 🙂

$ext = pathinfo($_FILES["link"]["name"]);
$ext = $ext["extension"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["link"]["tmp_name"], 
"library/". $thisida .'.'. $ext);
