chnaging the name of uploaded file

Code: Select all
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['headshot']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['headshot']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
$headshot = str_replace('/home/efarrell/public_html', '', $target_path);
}
I have the following variables that I'd like to use: $f_name and $l_name. I would like the file to be named FirstName-LastName.jpg but I have no idea how to go about this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Change
Code: Select all
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['headshot']['name']);
to
Code: Select all
$extension = array_pop(explode('.', basename( $_FILES['headshot']['name']))); //get the file extension
$target_path = $target_path . $f_name .'-'. $f_name .'.'. $extension; //specify the target file location
The target path you can specify as anything you want, basically.
