Changing the name of file uploaded adds up Array to the name

[ChrisPHP]

Hello everyone,

 

Hope you're doing all fine

 

I just wanted to ask about something that's happening to me recently..

Whenever I change the name of a file, it automatically adds up Array in the beginning of the name.

I just wanted to know if there's a way to prevent it

 

I'm using

 

$target = $target . basename($_FILES['AImage']. $an .'.jpg');

 

where AImage is the name of the field in mysql and $an is the name that I wanted to put

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Chris

Try,

$target = basename($_FILES['AImage'];
$value = array_shift($target);
$target = $target . $value . $an .'.jpg');

It did solve my problem thanks a million

Just for comprehension.. what does array_shift() actually do?

Thanks a lot again

Just for comprehension.. what does array_shift() actually do?

 

From the manual:

 

array_shift() shifts the first value of the array off and returns it, shortening the array by one element and moving everything down.

 

So if you do the following:

 

$companies = array('Microsoft', 'Google', 'Apple');
$removed_company = array_shift($companies);

 

Then $companies will only contain "Google" and "Apple", and $removed_company will contain "Microsoft".
