Hi All, I have the following scrip that uploads a image to a destination folder on my server.
What I am trying to do is "rename" the uploaded file and update the link in the back end database.
The file uploads and stores in the correct folder, but what it does not do, is rename the uploaded file.
Here is the script I am working on.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$img1 = $_FILES['jan_image']['name'];
//let's add a security check, to make sure only allowed files are uploaded
$ext=explode('.',$img1);//explode the image name into an array to get the extension
// allowed extensions, add or remove any extension you want allowed(LOWER CASE ONLY)
$allowed_exts=array('jpg','jpeg','png','bmp','gif');
if(in_array(strtolower($ext[1]), $allowed_exts)){//file type is allowed!
$dest="members/$securecode/$sname/images/$id/$storeitem/".$img1;
$val= move_uploaded_file($_FILES['jan_image']['tmp_name'], $dest);
chmod($dest, 0644);//make sure you have permissions for the file
if($val)
{ //update database and rename
rename($dest, 'members/'.$securecode.'/'.$sname.'/images/'.$id.'/'.$storeitem.'/update.jpg');
$dest="members/".$securecode."/".$sname."/images/".$id."/".$storeitem."/update.jpg";//set $dest to the new file name - database entry is correct
mysql_query("update 3tfbs set img1 ='http://www.website.com/members/$securecode/$sname/images/".$id."/".$storeitem."/$img1' where uiid='".$storeitem."'");
}
}
header( "Location: members.php") ;
