File Upload Rename - Keep Extension
Posted on 2004-08-02
Hi,
Trying to do a file uplaod and keep the extension. Unforntunately I can only upload text files - any idea why?
$email_user is a variable contain username
$userfile is from the form
/* File Upload in Start */
$today = date("YmdGis");
$pieces = explode(".", $_FILES['userfile']['name'
$ext = $pieces[count($pieces) - 1];
$filename = "$email_user$today.$ext";
$uploaddir = '../uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $filename ;
if (is_uploaded_file($userfil
(move_uploaded_file($userf
}
/* end file upload */
Thanks,
Farawayman

regardless of the extension, that won't work.
see my little example.
$pieces = explode(".", "asdf.foo.bar.txt");
$ext = $pieces[count($pieces) - 1)]; // ext = bar
see my little example.
$pieces = explode(".", "asdf.foo.bar.txt");
$ext = $pieces[count($pieces) - 1)]; // ext = bar
that's my example filename.
just wanted to show you, that your script won't work as expected with serveral dots in the filename.

Sorry pYrania, but your example is not right. The number of dots in the filename doesn't change anything in such an example. Beacuse file extension is always the last part in the filename. In your example $ext gives "txt" not "bar". The code that farawayman gave doesn't seem to be false. It should work.
Can you give a little more details pls? What happens when you try to upload a file other than txt file? Doesn't it upload? Or does it upload it with a false extension? What is the result?

Hi CaN,
The file does not upload - period.
If I try with a text file it works.
Really strange stuff.
Using php 4.3.7 and IIS
Cheers!

Try with this..

$userfile is from the form
/* File Upload in Start */
$today = date("YmdGis");
$pieces = explode(".", $_FILES['userfile']['name'
$ext = $pieces[1];
$filename = $email_user.$today.".".$ex
$uploaddir = '../uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $filename ;
if (is_uploaded_file($userfil
(move_uploaded_file($userf
}
/* end file upload */

Hi,
This did not work just text files allowed still .... is this a setting somewhere else that has gone goofy?

If you do any changes in the Configuration files(php.ini,httpd.conf),

There's a little wheel reinventing going on here - It's not like no-one has ever needed to figure out an extension before:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php
$p = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile
$ext = $p['extension'];
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.pathinfo.php
$p = pathinfo($_FILES['userfile
$ext = $p['extension'];
Okay at first that did not work and then I think I discovered the problem and then my original solution should work ....
The problem was:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000">
Remove this and it works a treat.
:-))))))))))))))))))))))))
Okay points time:
