[SOLVED] Changing a file name

[adam291086]

I want to change the new of a uploaded file. Will something like this work

<?php
$file_type= $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$newfile = $_FILES["file"][$name];
?>

no you can't alter that superglobal array nor can you adjust the parameters in it

 

you can't do anything with whats in the temp except move it or get its data

 

so you want to do a move_uploaded_File or copy() or something else similar to this.

i have got that part

move_uploaded_file ($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] , $destination. $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

 

how do i change the name then. Just i don't want to rely on the user uploading the correct file name

if(is_file($_FILES["image1"]["tmp_name"]))

{

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image1']['tmp_name'],"images/destination/newfilename.extension");

}

You can use md5() to rename your file!

 

That will do the trick.
