Trying to get this PHP upload code to rename the file.

[Vinlock]

Hello,

 

I've looked everywhere for help, is there any chance anyone here that knows of PHP can help me out?

 

I have this snippet of code for uploading files. I really want it to rename the files with a date and/or time or anything random at the end of the image's name as it uploads. Would be an amazing help!! Thanks!

 

Here is the code.

 

<?php
// Set the uplaod directory
$uploadDir = '/images/';

if (!empty($_FILES)) {
    $tempFile   = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'][0];
    $uploadDir  = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $uploadDir;
    $targetFile = $uploadDir . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'][0];

    // Validate the file type
    $fileTypes = array('jpg'); // Allowed file extensions
    $fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name'][0]);

    // Validate the filetype
    if (in_array($fileParts['extension'], $fileTypes)) {

        // Save the file
        move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
        echo 1;

    } else {

        // The file type wasn't allowed
        echo 'Invalid file type.';

    }
}
?>

$targetdir is what you need to modify. Keep in mind that $uploadDir is just "/images/" and the $_FILES bit is just a filename (with an extension).

there is no $targetdir o.O

Vinlock ment $targetFile, I guess.

 

If you want to alter the filename (witout extension) you first have to devide the filename from extension. For example with:

$FileNameComplete = explode('.', $_FILES['Filedata']['name'][0]);

$FileName = $FileNameComplete[count($FileNameComplete)-1];

$FileExt = $FileNameComplete[count($FileNameComplete)];

 

Then you can puzzle the new Filename you want the uploaded file to have, i.e.

$targetFile = $uploadDir . $FileName . "_" .date('U') . "." . $FileExt;

Uh yeah, I did too. $uploadDir + $targetFile = $targetDir, right?
