big-dog1965 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think this is the bit of code that is doing the file upload portion of a form/php process. I need the file to be stored with the original file name. Right now it is stored with a name I can’t retrieve from DB with out looking at the folder after it is uploaded. My scenario is I’m displaying information from the DB on a webpage by echoing it. I would like to display the image as well, but how. So first I want to tackle the storing of image with real file name. // File upload handling if($_FILES['venues_field_15']['name']!=''){ $venues_field_15_filename = "file_15_".date("sihdmY").substr($_FILES['venues_field_15']['name'],strlen($_FILES['venues_field_15']['name'])-4); if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['venues_field_15']['tmp_name'], "./files/".$venues_field_15_filename)){ die("File " . $_FILES['venues_field_15']['name'] . " was not uploaded."); Im thinking this is the area of code that I want to change but dont have a clue. tried several things and all failed. $venues_field_15_filename = "file_15_".date("sihdmY").substr($_FILES['venues_field_15']['name'],strlen($_FILES['venues_field_15']['name'])-4); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/159177-solved-image-upload-store-with-origanal-file-name/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
