[SOLVED] renaming image before upload


justAnoob

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to rename the image before it is uploaded to the server. Can someone point me in the right direction. The user has a textbox on the page so they can type in the name of the image they are uploading. I want them to be able to give it a name insted of using the actual filename. Here is what we got so far for the upload.

<?php
$itemname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['itemname']);
$description = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description']);

define ("MAX_SIZE","1000");
function getExtension($str)
{
$i = strrpos($str,".");
if (!$i)
{
	return "";
}
$l = strlen($str) - $i;
$ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
return $ext;
}

$errors=0;
if(isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];
if ($image)
{
	$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
	$extension = getExtension($filename);
	$extension = strtolower($extension);
	if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "gif") && ($extension != "png"))
	{
		echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
		$errors=1;
	}
	else
	{
		$size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);
		if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
		{
			echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';	$errors=1;
		}

		$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
		$newname="userimages/".$image_name;
		$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);
?php
