how to rename uploaded files via ID

pixeltrace · March 3, 2007

guys,

i need help.

i have a form that is used as a resume/ picture/ new application uploader

currently the files (resume and picturefile) is being uploaded and renamed via

the applicants firstname-lastname

now my problem is

i dont know how to rename the files using ID since the the process

is the files or application must be uploaded first before an ID for that is created

thats why in my current code i used firstname and lastname to rename it

but my problem is if the applicants got the same names so i was thinking of

renaming the files via ID and not firstname-lastname

this is the current code of my form

<form action="client/addclient.php" method="post" id="add" name="add">

<tr>

<tr>

<tr>

<tr>

<td colspan="3" bgcolor="#999999" class="text2">CLIENT INFORMATION </td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

<td width="119" align="right" valign="top" class="text6">Date Joined : </td>

</select>

</select>

<?php

for($i=2001; $i<=date("Y"); $i++){

print '<option value="'.$i.'"';

if($yearText == $i){

print ' selected';

}

print '>'.$i.'</option>';

}

?>

</select></td>

1- Just do as you are doing by uploading file with the name of the applicant.

2- store the path of the uploaded file in a variable

3- generate an id for this file

4- rename the file with rename("/uploaded/just_uploaded.txt", "/uploaded/new_id.txt");

     }
?>

i was able to have it renamed using firstname and lastname

but i dont know how to rename it using appid since the INSERT query is after

the renaming and uploading of the file

how do i do this?

need help please!

thanks!

I went by a different method:

<?php
//First check that file ext = .jpg then rename file and location, also upload to perminate location
$extension = explode('.',$_FILES['avatar']['name']);
if ($extension[1] == 'jpg') {
	$uploaddir = 'images/users/';
	$select = "SELECT id FROM user ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1";
	$sel_results = mysql_query($select);
	$sel_row = mysql_fetch_array($sel_results);
	$file_id = $sel_row[id] + 1;
	$filename = $file_id . '_' . $_FILES['avatar']['name'];
	$file_dir = "$uploaddir" . "$filename";
	move_uploaded_file($_FILES['avatar']['tmp_name'], "$file_dir");
	$size = getimagesize($file_dir);
	if($size[0] != 82 or $size[1] != 82) {
		$error = 'file';
		unlink($file_dir);
		header("Location: login.php?error=$error");
		exit(0);
	}
	$size_true = 'true';
}
elseif ($extension[0] == "") {
	$file_dir = 'images/users/guest.jpg';
	$size_true = 'true';
}
elseif ($extension[1] !== 'jpg' or !$size_true) {
	$error = 'file';
	header("Location: login.php?error=$error");
	exit(0);
}
?>

First I checked to make sure the user is able to make an account and if they can (meaning passwords match, emails match/valid, and unique username, this prevents files from uploading from users who can't make an account and thus having files stored there that shouldnt be. Then I go through a verifying file method.

Granted this is for a .jpg so you can remove the code that you need if you choose to use this.

If you need anything explained just let me know.
