naming uploaded files

[Hofmeister]

I have a file uploader along with a simple HTML form and I would like to name the uploaded files in this format:

 

file_name.mp3 to (artist_name_from_POST)[song_name_from POST].mp3

 

note: literal ( ) and [ ]

 

From there I would like to use a ?str_replace? to retrieve what is in the (  ) and [  ] and create a variable from that to write an xml file so essentially it would be saving my POST data in the file names themselves. Please give any insite to how to get this done through PHP. THANKS!!

<?php
$tmp_name = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$dir = "where/file/will/be/saved/";  // Don't forget the trailing slash
$new_name = '('.$_POST['artist'].')['.$_POST['song_name'].']';
if(move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, $dir.$new_name)){
    rename($dir.$temp_name,$new_name);
}
?>

pefect thats what i tried but I was using double quotes not literal singles...now from there I think I would have to do a preg_match to find each name seperately and then a str_replace to get rid of the [ ] or ( ) correct? I not very familar with preg_match any help there?

 

Thanks again!

<?php
list($artist, $song) = explode(")[",$filename);
$artist = rtrim($artist, "(");
$song = ltrim($song, "]");
echo "Artist: $artist";
echo "Song: $song";
?>
