i'm working on a site that needs pictures to be uploaded to a site but the picture needs to be renamed be fore it is placed in the database PLEASE HELP:spam::homer::stan::beer:

but what problem do you have exactly?
when you uploading, you can name picture as you want
look at move_uploaded_file() function

Easy....


//get the file name from post
$filename = $_FILES['file1']['name'];

//get the extension be explode
$get_ext = explode(".",$filename);

//make the name for the new file
$new_name = 'This_is_the_new_name' . $get_ext[1];

//make the actual location for file
$filelocation = 'images/' . $new_name;

//actually upload file
move_uploaded_file($_FILES[''file1'']['tmp_name'],$filelocation );

//Insert into database

$insert_checker = @mysql_query("INSERT INTO files `filename`='filename',`locationi`='$filelocation',`ext`='$get_ext[1]'");

//check if inserted into database

if($insert_cehcker){
echo file uploaded;
} else {
echo file not uploaded'
}


Peace,

i'm using asp with access
do you happen to have that or know where i can get it

Note that you do not need to literally rename the file if you are going to store it in a database. The file goes in 1 field and the name you want to call it goes on another.

A quick search in google pointed me to this code that does not require a 3rd party component to upload in ASP.

Let us know how it goes.

i what the file renamed how do i go about that.
