Hey guys, total newb when it comes to php. any help here would be much apreciated,

 

what i am trying to achieve is to allow a person to upload a jpg image that he wants displayed on a dynamic flash site, but seeing as the flash is looking for xx.jpg, is it possible that any jpg file he uploads , say its called golf.jpg, is automatically uploaded/renamed to xx.jpg ? so i dont have to get him to rename the files before uploading.

 

i attempted to understand a short tutorial on doing this but failed, here is what code i used. ( i added that rename line, looking at it now sorta seems like a really lame attempt lol )

 

<?php 
$target = "upload/"; 
$target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
$ok=1; 

rename ("*.jpg", "xx.jpg");

//This is our size condition 
if ($uploaded_size > 350000) 
{ 
echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
$ok=0; 
} 

//This is our limit file type condition 
if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
{ 
echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
$ok=0; 
} 

//Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
if ($ok==0) 
{ 
Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
} 

//If everything is ok we try to upload it 
else 
{ 
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
{ 
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded"; 
} 
else 
{ 
echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
} 
} 
?> 

<body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php" method="POST">
Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form> 

 

cheers
