so far i have; // Configuration - Your Options $allowed_filetypes = array('.jpg','.gif','.bmp','.png'); // These will be the types of file that will pass the validation. $max_filesize = 524288; // Maximum filesize in BYTES (currently 0.5MB). $upload_path = $_COOKIE['tmp']; // upload files to. called from cookie tmp from newuser.php $filename = $_FILES['userfile1']['name']; // Get the name of the file (including file extension). $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename. // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user. if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes)) die('The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.'); // Check if we can upload to the specified path, if not DIE and inform the user. if(!is_writable($upload_path)) die('You cannot upload to the specified directory, please CHMOD it to 777.'); // Now check the filesize, if it is too large then DIE and inform the user. if(filesize($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name']) > $max_filesize) die('The file you attempted to upload is too large.'); // Upload the file to your specified path. if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile1']['tmp_name'],$upload_path . $filename)) echo 'Upload was successful, view the file <a href="' . $upload_path . $filename . '" title="Your File">here</a><br />'; else echo 'There was an error during the file upload. Please try again.'; Ive just been playing around with uploading images etc and have the basics working. Now I'd like to rename this file 'profile' and use its original extension. I know the rename function will be used here as Ive been looking around online for what Im looking for but I havent been able to successfully implement it yet. Please could someone help me out, thanks

im currently making an upload images function to write a file that i have create upon submission from the previous page, this is the code i use; mkdir($thisdir ."/tempprofileimages" . "/temp.$firstname$surname", 0777); chmod($thisdir ."/tempprofileimages" . "/temp.$firstname$surname", 0777); However, when i try to upload the image to the newly created folder i still get the 'cannot write to file, please chmod 777 it'. How do i overcome this issue?

basically, im wanting to create an upload image function to allow users to upload a maximum of 10 images, file names need to be unique to stop them from overwriting each other. is there any way that i can get php to create a new directory for each user, so that each user potentially has their own folder with 10 images in it? then once all of the files have been uploaded they need to be viewable as thumbnails with 1 main image being the main photo. what is the easiest way to go about doing this? im not sure if its best to use php or js so ive posted it in both help forums.

thanks ignace, works fine whilst maintaining valid HTML!

Thanks guys; Tweeked it slightly to; echo "<a href=profile.php?userid=$row[userid]>" and it works fine. It initially didnt like the '' that surrounded the userid so thats where my problem was occurring. Thanks again!

Hey, Im pretty new to php and have just been toying with a few ideas to get used to it. So far I have created a basic database that contains 3 fields: userid, firstname and lastname. On one page I have echoed the firstname and lastname like so; echo $row['surname'] . ", " . $row['firstname'] ."<br />"; I want each row that is displayed to be a link to another page where other information will be presented based upon which user has been clicked. (e.g) click on Smith, John and it will take you to his page with his information. How do I go about creating this so that the primary key can be used to identify which row has been clicked?
