Note Submitter: hakimu @ gmail dot com ---- This is a response to bryan dot fillmer at beasleyallen dot com about renamig files to avoid ovewriting. it's simple, since the only problem is the extention, there are other ways of doing the same heres mine // Where the file is going to be placed temporarly $target_path = "/"; $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']; // temp file $target_path = "upload/"; $oldfile = basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); // getting the extention $pos = strpos($oldfile,".",0); $ext = trim(substr($oldfile,$pos+1,strlen($oldfile))," "); //new file name exmaple for a profile image of a user $newfile = $username . "." . $ext; // move the file to the final destination $target_path = $target_path . basename($newfile); if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) { echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; } else{ echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!"; }
