Pioden Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi, I can't get my brain around renaming files in a file upload situation ??? My upload code is working nicely but I need to add some random numbers to the uploaded file name in order to stop over writing. I've tried a bunch of things but without success. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA $uploadfile = $file_path . basename($_FILES['file_field']['name']); if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_field']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo "Success!.\n"; } else { echo "I'm sorry but the file was not uploaded.!\n". $php_errormsg; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98989-rename-file-in-_files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrostars Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think $uploadfile = $file_path . 'newname.gif'; if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file_field']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) { echo "Success!.\n"; } else { echo "I'm sorry but the file was not uploaded.!\n". $php_errormsg; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98989-rename-file-in-_files/#findComment-506543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
