How to replace a $_FILE global name for a variable value.

[co.ador]

The Global $_FILE field value is

<?php basename($_FILES['file']['name'] ?>

 

the variable value is

 

<?php $newname = $id . ".jpg" ?>

 

The Field "file" is carry a value of a picture for instance penguin.jpg and then I want to replace that name for $id . ".jpg" to make a new name for the file and replace it for the id fo the product like 34.jpg.

 

 

I am working on an upload file script so far is moving the file but with the original name and I trying to make a new and rename it to the id of the product

 

the script is as below and so far is inserting the original name of the file in $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']  instead I am looking for something like $uuploaddir . $newname which #newname is equal to $id. "jpg"

 

<?php
// $newname = $id . ".jpg";
$uploaddir = '/home3/ny/public_html/your/inventory_images/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
    echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
    echo "File was not uploaded\n";
}
?>

 

Any suggestions?

 

so far as I said the  existing code is uploading but with the original name file.

Where to find out which ID it will be?

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir . $id . ".jpg");

mga I just put a snipet of the whole code but the $id is all the way in the code and it is echoing.  I will try your suggestion.

You can rename the file to however you please really, with exception. But you don't have to use any of the uploaded file name as your renamed file.

ok, i can see how you did directly.

 

now, When i submitted the form it print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded" but when I go to the inventory_images I don't find neither the orginal file name or the renamed one which would be 194.jpg which was the id created this time. I have the script set up to echo the $id variale after form has submitted but I don't see the file.

MGA never mind it was inserting all this time even before the thing is I was using $id = SESSION['user_id']; and I needed $product_id = $_POST['product_id'];

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

Thank you for your post.
