slight problem with naming files in php gallery

[slaterino]

Hi,

Hopefully there's a quick answer to this issue. The filenames that I'm currently creating for the album images in my gallery are ending with an extra full stop. For example, the name could X78GUB832..jpg. I'm currently having some problems with my gallery in Firefox and want to rule this out as a problem. Below is my code for the page that this is on. Can anyone tell me why the extra full stop is being produced?

 

/////

 

<?php

require_once '../library/config.php';

require_once '../library/functions.php';

if(isset($_POST['txtName']))

{

$albumName = $_POST['txtName'];

$albumDesc = $_POST['mtxDesc'];

 

$imgName  = $_FILES['fleImage']['name'];

$tmpName  = $_FILES['fleImage']['tmp_name'];

 

$ext = strrchr($imgName, ".");

 

$newName = strtolower(md5(rand() * time()) . ".$ext");

 

    $imgPath = ALBUM_IMG_DIR . $newName;

 

$result = createThumbnail($tmpName, $imgPath, THUMBNAIL_WIDTH);

 

if (!$result) {

echo "Error uploading file";

exit;

}

 

    if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

        $albumName  = addslashes($albumName);

        $albumDesc  = addslashes($albumDesc);

    } 

 

$query = "INSERT INTO tbl_album (al_name, al_description, al_image, al_date)

  VALUES ('$albumName', '$albumDesc', '$newName', NOW())";

 

    mysql_query($query) or die('Error, add album failed : ' . mysql_error());                   

 

echo "<script>window.location.href='index.php?page=list-album';</script>";

exit;

}

?>

 

/////

 

Thanks!

Try removing the . in front of $ext in this line... it looks like the strrchr() function is going to return .jpg on its own

 

$newName = strtolower(md5(rand() * time()) . ".$ext");

thanks for your help!

for the record, it's because the character that strrchr() uses as its delimiter is returned with the string to its right.  just in case you ever go to use the function again.
