bh Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If you upload a file, best use this function: move_uploaded_file() With this function you can easily rename the file, becouse you must add the file to the destination parameter.

svgmx5 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thanks you guys, but i managed to figure it out after only 2 hours lol yea i used move_uploaded_file() and used the variable $target = $directory.$new_filename in which $new_filename = 'newpdf.pdf'; Thanks!!
