Store the new file name in a session variable?

[chrisj]

In an Upload Form I'm using, has this line:
$newfilename = $SESSION['user_id'].$FILES["file"]["name"]; (and more)

In regard to that, I was instructed to "store the newfilename in a session variable"
(in another php file)
and use the session variable in this link, instead of newfilename,

<a href="upload/<?php echo $newfilename?>"><?php echo $newfilename?></a>

I'm not sure how to do that. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Any guidance will be appreciated..

You managed to store the user_id in a session variable. Store the newfilename the same way.
You also managed to get the user_id back out of the session variable and use it (in the line you posted). Get the newfilename the same way.

Thanks for enlightening me. So, like this?

$newfilename = $_SESSION['newfilename'].$_FILES["newfilename"];
