Setting a Name

[perezf]

Hey everyone,

I need a way that a user could name the file he would be uploading

in the form i made it has it where he can browse for the file
select what folder to upload to
but i also wanted to add a textbox where the user could name the file.
I made a textbox and gave it the name "rename"
if anyone could help me accomplish this i would greatly appreciate it

heres the php script to upload

<?php
$location = $_POST['options'];
move_uploaded_file ($_FILES['img1'] ['tmp_name'],
"photos/$location/ {$_FILES['img1'] ['name']}")


?>
<p>You Sent: <?php echo $_FILES['img1'] ['name']; ?></p>

Just change $_FILES['img1'] ['name'] to $_POST['rename'].

But you should also check that they've provided a valid filename and that they aren't going to either intentionally or unintentionally write over another file.

Now it changes it to the name the user types but it wont place the extension after how can i make this happen

for instance instead of it being picture.jpg its only picture

[code]
$ext = explode(".",$_FILES['img1'] ['name']);
$ext = array_pop($ext);

$newFileName = $_POST['rename'].".".$ext;



[/code]

as for checking if a file exists
[a href=\"http://au2.php.net/file_exists\" target=\"_blank\"]file_exists[/a]
