Rename file name before upload

[mcnika]

Hi.
I need PHP code, that will let me rename file, when upload it to an exactly folder.I mean when i choose the file that i'll upload it, it must change the name and then upload it.

If you have the copy function somewhere on your upload script, you can rename the file as you copy it.

copy($source, $target);

Suppose that you have "flower.jpg" image in the folder.
I click on Browse and choose image with the same name "flower.jpg"
and click submit.The code must check if there is a such file on the folder, if yes rename it and upload. The checking code I've already written.
The function that you wrote would help me if I'd like to change the name of the first image.

welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], mcnika!

you cannot change the name of a file before you upload it.

when you upload a file the script must create a file and write the uploaded data to the file.
you can name the newly created file anything you like when you create it...

if yes rename it and upload

Are you trying to name the existing file, if there the new file is having the same file name as the one already in the server?

rename('flower.jpg', 'flower2.jpg');
