[SOLVED] Image Uploading

[magebash]

This is my script:

if ($userfile_size >100000){die("File too large.  Try to reduce the size.");}
if (!($userfile_type =="image/jpeg" OR $userfile_type=="image/gif")){$msg=$msg."Please only upload JPEG or GIF files.<BR>";
die("Please only upload JPEG or GIF files.");}
$add="upload/$userfile_name";
if(move_uploaded_file ($userfile, $add)){
}else{echo "Failed to upload file.  Please try again.  If problem persists, contact administrator by logging in and using the Personal Message System.";}

I was wondering if it is possible to rename the image uploaded to a random number.  If possible how?  Thanks.

you should the way I rename files on upload is

<?php
$ran_filename = date("U")."_".rand(0,999);
?>

that gives you the a guaranteed random number.

to rename use your own VAR in move_uploaded_file

[magebash]

okay, but i need it to keep its extension.

[magebash]

could you insert your code into mine to show how i could make it work?

Try something like:

$userfile_name = date("U")."_".rand(0,999);

 

RIGHT before the move_uploaded_file() call.  Are you sure you want a random filename though?

[magebash]

I am not sure, but I need someone to show me how to put it in my code and have it so the extension stays the same.

well i figured it out.  Thanks for your guys help.
