changing uploaded file name

[garydt]

I've got-

$uploadsDirectory = './uploads/'; 
//Upload image
$uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$a.$fieldname['name'];

$a is a random generated  number.

 

Then the script calls a function to resize the image and saves it in the smallpics folder -

if(imagejpeg($thumb, "smallpics/".$a.$name, 80)) { //image-resource, filename, quality
			return 1;
		}

But it doesn't keep the generated number, it just saves it as the orignal file name. Why is this?  Shall i post the full function script?

Can anyone help?

Why is it that you go to the trouble of creating a variable to hold your new file name, "$uploadFilename" but your IF statement tests

 

(..smallpics/".$a.$name..)

 

Shouldn't it be:

 

if(imagejpeg($thumb, "$uploadFilename, 80)) { //image-resource, filename, quality
			return 1;
		}

 

That might help a bit, sorry if it doesn't!
