Upload and then save as new name?

I have not been able to find any comments on this. I want to allow a user to upload a file but I want to save it as a certain name based on the answers they put in the form.

For example a user uploads a photo of themselves, named me.jpg, I want it to be save to disk as FirstNameLastName.jpg.

How would I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!!!

Paul.

Hi Paul,

this will need to hack chronocontact.php, find thisl ine :

$filename        = date('YmdHis').'_'.preg_replace('`[^a-z0-9-_.]`i','',$_FILES[$allowed_s2[0]]['name']);

change it to whatever you like.

Cheers

Max

Awesome - thank you very much!!!!

One more question just came to mind. Is there a way to save the Joomla username, Joomla email address into the table as well, or get it into a hidden form field?

Hi Parisi,

use this code :

global $my;
echo $my->username;

Email must be get from the _users table using the record id with $my->id

Cheers
