Re: Renaming a file uploaded by a form.

copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"/real/path/to/$_FILES['userfile'] ['name']"); what you really want is... http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php hth jeff "Info@Best-IT" <info To: <php-db@lists.php.net> cc: 01/01/2003 Subject: [PHP-DB] Renaming a file uploaded by a form. 06:25 PM I have a script that uploads form data to a MySQL server then emails the form data to alert people that an upload occurred. I am having trouble getting the form to upload my file with the actual filename. The filename seems to be created by the PHP machine (wild guess) but it looks like this: /var/tmp//phptkYxkV Any ideas on how to get it to look like: filename.doc would be greatly appreciated. /Tim -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
