renaming files
- Thread starter andy_jacko
- Start date
If you want rename an existing file : rename("filename", "newname.txt") ;
If you want rename uploaded file (from /tmp) :
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $HTTP_POST_FILES['myfile']['name']) ;
And myfile is the name of your <input type=file> :<input name=myfile type=file> .
If you want rename uploaded file (from /tmp) :
move_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $HTTP_POST_FILES['myfile']['name']) ;
And myfile is the name of your <input type=file> :<input name=myfile type=file> .

<?php
$filerename=$row_Recordset1['id'];
$filerename=$filerename+1
?>

$theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
