Hi, i am using this code to currently upload a file
but how can i rename the item, with keeping the extension the same.
[code=php]
<?PHP
$file_dir = “examples/”;
foreach($_FILES as $file_name => $file_array) {
echo “Path: “.$file_array[‘tmp_name’].”<br>n”;
echo “Name: “.$file_array[‘name’].”<br>n”;
echo “Type: “.$file_array[‘type’].”<br>n”;
echo “Size: “.$file_array[‘size’].”<br>n”;
if (is_uploaded_file($file_array[‘tmp_name’])) {
move_uploaded_file($file_array[‘tmp_name’],
“$file_dir/$file_array[name]”) or die (“Couldn’t copy”);
echo “file was moved!<br><br>”;
}
}
?>
Many Thanks
Adam

$file = $_FILE['upload']['tmp_name'];
$ext = explode('/', mime_content_type($file));
move_uploaded_file($file, 'images/uploaded/' . $new_name . $ext[1]);

if (is_uploaded_file($file_array['tmp_name'])) {

//$filename = "blahblahblah.some.thing.txt";
//step 1: Split the filename into bits, using the period as the delimiter (or separator) and place those bits into an array
$nameparts = explode(".", $filename);
/* In this example, the array, $nameparts, now has the following:
$nameparts[0] has 'blahblahblah'
$nameparts[1] has 'some'
$nameparts[2] has 'thing'
$nameparts[3] has 'txt'
*/
// Question: How do we tell it that we want the last element, $nameparts[3] ?
// step 2: Get the number of elements:
$num_elements = sizeof($nameparts);
// you can also say: $num_elements = count($nameparts)...PHP is rich with alternative ways of doing things.
/* In this example, you can see that the number of elements will be four. You can also see, very clearly, that the last element, the fourth one, has an index of 3. It has to have an index which is ONE less than the maximum because the array index starts from zero.
In other words, to get the file extension, we need to give the array an index of ONE LESS THAN the MAXIMUM number of elements.
*/
// Step 3: Index of Last element:
$index_of_last = $num_elements - 1;
// Step 4: Get the Extension
$extension = $nameparts[$index_of_last];
