Renaming

[Solar]

How can I make it so when someone uploads an image, that it will rename the file to their name. Eg. URL/photo/Solar.gif

 

I can't figure it out

 

<?php 
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$target = "./photo/";
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
$ok=1; 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
} 
else {
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
}
?>

change $target

$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ;

 

to

 

$target = "./photo/";
$path = pathinfo($_FILES['uploaded']['name']); //gather file data
$targetnew = $target.$_SESSION['username'].$path['extension'];
while(file_exists($targetnew))
{ //make sure the file doesnt already exist
  $targetnew = $target.rand(0,1000).$_SESSION['username'].$path['extension'];
}
$target = $targetnew;unset($targetnew);

 

I havnt tested but looks ok to me.
