show username with file upload

[drivethru]

Hey, I have an upload system on my website that allows people to upload files to the site. I have added a username/password system to the site since then. Users have to login to upload a video. Usernames are stored in a mySQL database. When users upload a file, how can I get their username shown to me so I know who sent me the file?

[code]
<?php session_start();?>
<input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $name;?>">
[/code]

add a colum called names to the upload colum.

Thanks, but I'm still not real sure of what I'm supposed to do. Do I place that code in my "upload.php" or somewhere else and where will the name show up at?

If this helps any, I'm using Simplicity oF Upload to upload my files. It sends me an email when a file is uploaded anyway. How can I get the username to show up in the email?

I think the best idea for this would be to add the users ID number to the beggining of the filename

like if my ID is 9893
and the file I uploaded is called tree.jpg

set you code to rename it to 9893_tree.jpg
then you more systematically get the corresponding user

That sounds like a really good idea. How do I get it to rename the file? Sorry, I'm still new to PHP.

[Zane]

well, what does your code look like so far
show us some code and we can help you mold it to what you need.

Here's what I have on my page to check to see if the user is logged in.
[code]
<?php
require 'db_connect.php';


if ($logged_in == 0) {
die('Sorry you are not logged in, this area is restricted to registered members. <a href="login.php">Click here</a> to log in.');
}


// show content

$db_object->disconnect();
// when you are done.

?>
[/code]

Here is my uploader
I also have a configuration file
