blurb87 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've put up a quick site to collect some basic biographical info and a head shot from a group of people for a project I'm working on. I used the Pure PHP Upload/Sephiroth extension I found on Abobe's site for the file upload. Once the biographical info is submitted, the next page is the one with the file upload form. What I'd like to do is add the first name and last name (from the form) to the file name that is uploaded. The reason I want to do this is that while I will probably know and be able to identify which pictures go with which person (the group of people I'm gathering info from is only about 75 people) if two people upload a picture called "pic" or "headshot" the first one will be overwritten. So, before the script copies the file to a specified folder, I want to add the name info from the form to the file name. My only background in scripting is ASP/VB Script, so PHP is not my area although I'm trying to learn. If anyone is from an ASP background, I feel like I should just be able to do a response.write with the form variable somewhere in the code and concatenate it with which ever variable the script uses to name the file. I'm not trying to put the file location into my database or anything like that. My code is below, can anyone advise me on how to accomplish this? <?php // --------------------------------------------- // Pure PHP Upload version 1.1 // ------------------------------------------- if (phpversion() > "4.0.6") { $HTTP_POST_FILES = &$_FILES; } define("MAX_SIZE",3145728); define("DESTINATION_FOLDER", "uploadBlue"); define("no_error", "ok.php"); define("yes_error", "error.php"); $_accepted_extensions_ = "jpg,gif"; if(strlen($_accepted_extensions_) > 0){ $_accepted_extensions_ = @explode(",",$_accepted_extensions_); } else { $_accepted_extensions_ = array(); } $_file_ = $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']; if(is_uploaded_file($_file_['tmp_name']) && $HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['error'] == 0){ $errStr = ""; $_name_ = $_file_['name']; $_type_ = $_file_['type']; $_tmp_name_ = $_file_['tmp_name']; $_size_ = $_file_['size']; if($_size_ > MAX_SIZE && MAX_SIZE > 0){ $errStr = "File troppo pesante"; } $_ext_ = explode(".", $_name_); $_ext_ = strtolower($_ext_[count($_ext_)-1]); if(!in_array($_ext_, $_accepted_extensions_) && count($_accepted_extensions_) > 0){ $errStr = "Estensione non valida"; } if(!is_dir(DESTINATION_FOLDER) && is_writeable(DESTINATION_FOLDER)){ $errStr = "Cartella di destinazione non valida"; } if(empty($errStr)){ if(@copy($_tmp_name_,DESTINATION_FOLDER . "/" . $_name_)){ header("Location: " . no_error); } else { header("Location: " . yes_error); } } else { header("Location: " . yes_error); } } ?> [code] [/code] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/111744-modfying-file-name-using-pure-php-upload/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 This line.... if(@copy($_tmp_name_,DESTINATION_FOLDER . "/" . $_name_)){ Would need to be.... if(@copy($_tmp_name_,DESTINATION_FOLDER . "/" . $_POST['firstname'] . $_POST['lastname'] . $_name_)) { Where firstname & lastname are the names of your form elements.
