OK, well how about this -- you said your code is:
$rename = time();
$old_name = $_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'];
$read_extension = explode(".", $old_name);
$ext = $read_extension[1];
$new_name = $rename.".".$ext;
rename($old_name, $new_name);
And your error message is "rename() failed (No such file or directory)", but
isn't $_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'] the original file name before
uploading, whereas $_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'] is where the file was
uploaded to on the server. So the first is just a name, and the second is
the file location.
Also, you're defining what $new_name is before you even use rename(), so
even if rename() fails, you've set the desired value for $new_name. But what
you have not done is actually move the uploaded file. If it's being uploaded
to /tmp, it will be deleted when your script ends.
So, I think you need to pass rename parameters that are file locations.
