Appending Date/Time to File Upload

How do I add a date and time to the end of my file upload?

Currently I've tried:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
        "uploads/".$orgid."/".$_FILES["file"]["name"].date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));

Open in new window

This doesn't quite work as it appends like this: filename.jpg2014-01-06 12:01:05

How can I do this so that it will be filename2014-01-06 12:01:05.jpg

Ok thanks guys, I'll go with either the . or _.
Don't use the dot!  

Don't use the dot!

Instead use the underscore.  If you want to find out why I recommend against using the dot, try using the dot.  It takes too long to explain, and it will make a mess of your application.  But in life, "understanding" is the bobby prize!

Thanks for using EE, and thanks for the points, ~Ray
Ah gotcha, will stick with underscore then.  Thanks!
