[SOLVED] Converting an Filename to Lower Case

[stublackett]

Hi,

 

I've got an Image Uploader working, Its just sometimes its tempremental when pulling the URL String from the database, So what I'd like to do is make the filename lowercase.

 

I've looked at the function strtolower() but its where to put it in my code. Any help appreciated

 

Here is my code

$passport_photo = $_FILES['passport_photo']['name'];			
			//Handle the Image

			// Set Upload DIR

			$uploaddir = "../../passports"; 

			// Upload Part
			if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['passport_photo']['tmp_name']))
			{
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES['passport_photo']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.$_FILES['passport_photo']['name']);
			}

			$passport_photo = $uploaddir."/".$passport_photo;
			$postData = "<a href='{$uploaddir}/{$passport_photo}'>Click To View Passport Photo</a>";

Here:

$passport_photo = strtolower($_FILES['passport_photo']['name']);

 

And,

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['passport_photo']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.strtolower($_FILES['passport_photo']['name']));

 

Or,

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['passport_photo']['tmp_name'],$uploaddir.'/'.$passport_photo);

Why did you declare the variable $passport_photo without using it? You can use it on $passport_photo and then use it in the move_uploaded_file function.

Jackpot! Works a treat, Many Thanks!

 

Ken, Where in that code did I not declare $passport_photo ?

I didn't say you didn't declare $passport_photo. Look at your code. You assigned it to the value - $_FILES['passport_photo']['name']; - but you never used it. And when you did, it's to replace the value of $passport_photo again. Why not do that in the first place and use it in the move_uploaded_file function?
