I have been building a few things lately for fun, This is a standard upload script, i am having trouble renaming the file, where in the code do i need to change so that i could have a random name or base the name off an Id?

$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).
" has been uploaded";
} else{
echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']);

the bold part is where you would place the name

The filename is set here: basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name'])

$target_path = $target_path . 'thenamethatyouwant.jpg';

You can have it be what you want, you aren't forced to use the name that the file was uploaded with.

ahhh ok! so could i put a variable right there, if i was trying to name it based off an ID? like if the id is 16, its going to be 16.jpg?

Pipecrew, off topic, but does Bang Bros know that something is wrong with the way they're tracking hits? I'm showing way less hits than normal for the past few days. Did you guys make some changes to the way you count hits? Are sales still being tracked normally?

Yup, could be what ever you want... and a variable would be a good idea since you use basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) in your success message as well.
