Bit rough at the moment but I have come up with the following - it doesn't
rename the file using the new ID yet but I am more concerned about my method
for creating the new ID - can anyone see any potential problems such as
database problems, i.e duplicate keys, bad coding practices etc... cheers
matt
if(!empty($_FILES["cr"])) {
$uploaddir = "cr/"; // set this to wherever
//copy the file to some permanent location
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["cr"]["tmp_name"], $uploaddir .
$_FILES["cr"]["name"])) {
echo("file uploaded\n");
echo(generateCrId(insertChangeRequest()));
} else {
echo ("error!");
}
}
function insertChangeRequest() {
$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO dis_status(status, description)
VALUES('status1', 'status1 description')") or die (mysql_error());
return mysql_insert_id();
}
function generateCrId($key) {
$crId = sprintf("CR-%03d", $key);
return $crId;
}
