[PHP] Rename an upload
I'm trying to rename an uploaded file with the value of a select I have
in the uploaded form. Can someone point me in the right direction. The
PHP.net rename manual isn't helping a lot? My code:
//Form for upload
form enctype=multipart/form-data action=eshop_upload.php
method=post
input type=hidden name=MAX_FILE_SIZE value=25000
input type=file name=userfile size=18 class=kapea
brbr
span class=adminisoleipaSelect the category to add the picture
to:brbr
select name='category'
option value=Please select.../option
?
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($mysql))
{
echo option
value='{$array[catid]}'{$array[catname]}/option;
}
?
/select
/td
/tr
trtdbr
input type=submit name=Submit value=Submit class=nappi
/form
//eshop_upload.php
?php
// Upload the picture to the selected directory and rename the file as
the category number.
if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']))
{
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],http://www.violasystems.c
om/images/);
rename(($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']),
$category);
}
else
{
echo Possible file upload attack. Filename:
.$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
}
?
TIA.

You've copied the uploaded file to another directory ...
rename(($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']),
$category);
... but now you're renaming the [temporary] uploaded file? Shouldn't you be
renaming the above copied file?
In fact you should be able to do it in a single step by copying the uploaded
file to its new destination and new filename.

That should do it in a single step.
