Mostly Ghostly Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hello everyone, I'm new here, so please bear with me. Basically, I have this code to upload files to a server, and e-mail the rest of the content of the form to me. What I need to know are 2 things. Most importantly, I'd like the filename to be changed to a random unique name (to avoid an uploaded file overwriting another). Secondly, I would like the name of this unique filename included in the e-mail with the rest of the text. Is there an easy way to do this? The form entry: <tr> <td height="18" valign="top">Please upload the file:</td> <td valign="top"><input name="userfile" type="file" id="userfile"> </td> <td> </td> <td></td> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170244-unique-filename-upload-and-filename-extract/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
oni-kun Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 You can use this in your PHP code to randomize the file name.. $suffix = substr (md5(uniqid(rand(),1)), 3, 10); $filename = $file."_".$suffix; As for e-mailing yourself the file, you cannot. You have to link it with HTML.. such as something roughly like.. <a href="__FILE__$filename">$filename</a> PHP's mail() does not support attachments.. Edit: What's with your code? Create a form so that it can upload the file, lol. <form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170244-unique-filename-upload-and-filename-extract/#findComment-898036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? and all this time i have been encoding file and emailing them.. Note: Email with attachments and special types of content (e.g. HTML) can be sent using this function. This is accomplished via MIME-encoding Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/170244-unique-filename-upload-and-filename-extract/#findComment-898039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Ghostly Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 The code itself uploads the file perfectly well. Where abouts in the script would I add the code to randomize the filename? Do I have to remove something else? I don't want to email myself the attachment, just the filename - so I know which file I'm looking for on the FTP when the form is filled in. Thanks.

MadTechie Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Without seeing the code its kinda hard to say, the code will probably be close to the move_uploaded_file() function, but without seeing it I can't say!
