[SOLVED] Rename image while keeping extention.

[sean14592]

Ok, Hi,

 

My propblem is that I have a form which allows people to upload a image (gif,jpeg,jpg,bmp,png).

 

the image can be catched using:

$_FILES['photo1']['name']

 

I can upload the image and save the image name in my database, but the problem I have is I need to rename the image but keep the extention the same.

 

So my question summed up is:

 

How do I rename the image while keeping its extention and then save this to variable?

 

 

 

Please can someone help, my I have tried searching, but was not successfull.

Cheers

Sean

<?php

$ogname = $_FILES['photo1']['name'];
$xplode = explode('.',$ogname);

$nuname = 'caca';
$nufile = $nuname.$xplode[1];

?>

This is a very simple example.

 

$extension = strrchr($_FILES['photo1']['name'], ".");
$newname = "newname";
$newimage = $newname.$extension;
echo $newimage;

 

Caesar your code works but what if the name is mypic.john.jpg

Hi, I have tried both, but did not manage to get it to work.

 

my full code is:

 

$user = $_SESSION['username'];

////INSERT ALL VARIABLES INTO DATABASE!

$connect = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die("Error connecting to Database!". mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database,$connect) or die("cannot select database!".mysql_error());


$check = mysql_query("select id from data where username='$user'") or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($check) > 0) {
     $a_record = mysql_fetch_array($check);
     $id = $a_record['id'];
}
//Creat image directory
mkdir("../../pages/".$id."/images");
$upload_dir = '../../pages/';  // You will need to set this. 
$upload_file = $upload_dir . $id ."/images/" . basename($id . "_" . $_FILES['photo1']['name']); 

$photo1url = $id . "_" . $_FILES['photo1']['name'];

//Get database cell - photo1url
mysql_select_db(********)
or die('Error, cannot select mysql database');

$query = "UPDATE properties SET photo1url = '$photo1url'". "WHERE id = '$id'";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');

 

Thabove gets the image uploads it and saves the image name in the database, what I need to do is rename this. would somebody be able to rewrite this so it will do that.

 

I would be very, very greatful.

What do you want to rename it to. It looks like you are renaming it already

 

$upload_file = $upload_dir . $id ."/images/" . basename($id . "_" . $_FILES['photo1']['name']);

 

id_filename.ext

 

Not sure what you want I guess.

I would like to rename it to 1.ext

 

ext = the original extention of the image uploaded.

by one I am guessing that would be the id of the current user.

 

<?php
$user = $_SESSION['username'];

////INSERT ALL VARIABLES INTO DATABASE!

$connect = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die("Error connecting to Database!". mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database,$connect) or die("cannot select database!".mysql_error());


$check = mysql_query("select id from data where username='$user'") or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($check) > 0) {
     $a_record = mysql_fetch_array($check);
     $id = $a_record['id'];
}
//Creat image directory
mkdir("../../pages/".$id."/images");
$upload_dir = '../../pages/';  // You will need to set this.
$ext = strrchr($_FILES['photo1']['name'], ".");
$n_name = $id;   // Set this to whatever you want the name to be
$newname = $n_name.$ext;
$upload_file = $upload_dir . $id ."/images/" . $new_name;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo1']['tmp_name'], $upload_file);
// this will just insert the new name. You will have to point to the path when you output results from the db
$photo1url = $newname;

//Get database cell - photo1url
mysql_select_db(********)
or die('Error, cannot select mysql database');

$query = "UPDATE properties SET photo1url = '$photo1url'". "WHERE id = '$id'";

mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
?>
