Hi,

i'm using the following function to upload images:

Code: Select all

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['cover']['tmp_name'],$path);
It works but I want to give the file a name of my choosing, at present it uses the original file name.

Is this possible?

$path is user-defined so, strictly speaking, you're already doing that.

Code: Select all

$filename = "whatever";
$moved = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['cover']['tmp_name'], $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename);

Perfect that worked!

I did not realise that I had already been setting the filename in my code here:

Code: Select all

$path=$dir . basename( $_FILES['cover']['name']);
I just removed the basename() function and added my own filename.

Thanks!
