Hello.

Could I please enquire, how do I rename an image file after it's been uploaded?

At present the code I'm using reads:-
[code<?php

if(isset($_FILES['image'])){
$errors= array();
$file_name = $_FILES['image']['name'];
$file_size =$_FILES['image']['size'];
$file_tmp =$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$file_type=$_FILES['image']['type'];
$file_ext=strtolower(end(explode('.',$_FILES['image']['name'])));

$expensions= array("jpeg","jpg","png");
if(in_array($file_ext,$expensions)=== false){
$errors[]="extension not allowed, please choose a JPEG or PNG file.";
}
if($file_size > 2097152){
$errors[]='File size must be excately 2 MB';
}
if(empty($errors)==true){
move_uploaded_file($file_tmp,"images/".$file_name);
chmod(/user/images/'.$file_name,777);
rename(/user/images/'.$file_name , '/user/images/0.png');
echo "Success";
}else{
print_r($errors);
}
}
?>

<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="image" />
<input type="submit"/>
</form>][/code]

I would also like to ask
If the original is a jpeg (for example), could I rename it to a number.jpg. Or if it's the original filename is a PNG, could the filename be remaned to a number.png? for example?

I'm unable to get this to work. However it is uploading ok.

Thank You.
 
Hello Hyper,

Thank you for your query.
When I try and rename the image file, nothing happens.

My first thought was an incorrect path name, so I did a copy and paste and tried again, and still the image filename didn't rename.
My second thought, was the filename was read only, so I inserted a chmod, still without success.

Now, I'm a unsure what else to do.

Thanks.
 
What return value are you getting and what errors are you getting?

I'm surprised that you still can't add code tags, or offer any useful information on your posts considering the length of time you have been here asking questions?
 
Hello Hyper,

First of all, leaving the code tags out, was just an error.
I'm not getting any return values or any errors reported.
It's just uploading the file and not renaming it.

And as for not explaining myself as well as you may expect. This could be due to a stoke I've suffered.
 
Have you looked at the directory using a file manager?
