[SOLVED] Help renaming a file

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

when a user uploads an image file i delete the name of the file and append a random 8 digit number to it (keeping the files original extension)

 

so : graham23spic.jpg would be 12345678.jpg, i was wanting to add an extra bit of text to the end of the photo kinda like: 12345678.jpg-Users_Photo

 

but i'm not sure how to do this my rename code is:

 

	 // renamed avatar...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 $renamed_avatar = $random_number.".".substr($_FILES["avatar"]["name"],strtolower(strlen($_FILES["avatar"]["name"]))-3,3); 

 

any help would be appreciated

 

thanks guys

// renamed avatar...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$renamed_avatar = "{$random_number}." . substr($_FILES["avatar"]["name"] . strtolower(strlen($_FILES["avatar"]["name"]))-3,3) . "Users_Photo";

 

I really wouldn't recommend putting text after the extension though..

Hi Chigley,

 

Thanks for the help mate , only thing is it doesn't seem to keep the original files extension it turned out like:

 

40716552.Users_Photo
