File Upload rename file based on another form input

[thaidomizil]

Hello,

 

i'm trying to create some file upload which renames the files automatically, the renamed file name needs to be the value from another text field, example:

 

i have a file upload form, and a last name text input, after the file upload the file should be renamed to the value of the last name input.

 

i really don't know where to start here, can anyone give me some hint / advice?

 

Thanks.

Do you have any working code for the file upload process at all? What you are asking for would be a highly trivial task with working code, so I assume not. There are countless "PHP Upload" tutorials on the next. Go find one and create an upload page. You should be able to easily figure out the rename part since you have to name the file when you save it anyway. Post back with any problems you have.

 

If you just want someone to build it for you then you can post in the freelance forum.

move_uploaded_file

 

The line above "move_uploaded_file" get the name from the textbox named "last_name".

<?php
$uploads_dir = '/uploads';
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
    if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
        $tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
        $name = $_POST['last_name'];
        move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "$uploads_dir/$name");
    }
}
?>
