[SOLVED] problem chanaging file name

[cs1h]

Hi,

I'm trying to upload a file, assign it a random name and then reference it too a database. I am using the following script to achieve this but its not working, when I run it all I get is my own error message "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.". It is however putting a random number into the databse but it is not adding the extinsion type back on.

 

The script is

<?php 

//This function separates the extension from the rest of the file name and returns it 
function findexts ($filename) 
{ 
$filename = strtolower($filename) ; 
$exts = split("[/\\.]", $filename) ; 
$n = count($exts)-1; 
$exts = $exts[$n]; 
return $exts; 
} 

//This applies the function to our file 
$ext = findexts ($_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 

//This line assigns a random number to a variable. You could also use a timestamp here if you prefer. 
$ran = rand () ;

//This takes the random number (or timestamp) you generated and adds a . on the end, so it is ready of the file extension to be appended.
$ran2 = $ran.".";

//This assigns the subdirectory you want to save into... make sure it exists!
$target = "images/";
//This combines the directory, the random file name, and the extension
$target = $target . $ran2.$ext; 

//This gets all the other information from the form 
$name=$_POST['name']; 
$country=$_POST['menuFilesDMA']; 
$type=$_POST['Catagory'];
$Email=$_POST['Email']; 
$Title=$_POST['title']; 
$Abstract=$_POST['message'];
$Article=$_POST['messagetwo'];   

// Connects to your Database 
mysql_connect("localhost", "adder", "clifford") or die(mysql_error()) ; 
mysql_select_db("real") or die(mysql_error()) ; 

//Writes the information to the database 
mysql_query($sql = "insert into `items` (`name`, `country`, `type`, `Email`, `Title`, `Abstract`, `Article`, `photo`) values ('$name', '$country', '$type', '$Email', '$Title', '$Abstract', '$Article', '$ran2.$ext')"); 

//Writes the photo to the server 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 

//Tells you if its all ok 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']). " has been uploaded, and your information has been added to the directory"; 
} 
else { 

//Gives and error if its not 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} 
?>

 

If any one can see where I am going wrong i would be very gratefull.

 

Cheers
