So the first is just a name, and the second is the file location. Also, you're defining what $new_name is before you even use rename(), so even if rename() fails, you've set the desired value for $new_name. But what you have not done is actually move the uploaded file. If it's being uploaded to /tmp, it will be deleted when your script ends. So, I think you need to pass rename parameters that are file locations. HTH -- Lowell Allen
