Hi Is there a way I can change my script to auto name the file when its being stored? Maybe by numbers lets say each time I upload a picture it should rename it to the number after the previous number.

like example"
Upload 1: 1.jpg
Upload 2: 2.jpg etc..

My current code I have is as follow

Form.html

PHP

<html>
<body><br>
<h1>My upload file form.</h1>


<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="process.php" method="post">


Enter File Name:<input type="text" name="name" value="Please enter file name:" /><br>


Enter Description:<input type="text" name="desc" value="Description:" /><br>


Select image:<input type="file" name="prodImg"><br>


<input type="submit" value="Submit Page" />


</form>
<?php

And my processing script

process.php

PHP

<?php


extract($_POST);


$name;


$desc;


$fileType = $_FILES['prodImg']['type'];
 $fileSize = $_FILES['prodImg']['size'];


if($fileSize/1024 > '150') {
 echo 'Filesize is not correct it should equal to 2 MB or less than 2 MB.';
 exit();
 } //FileSize Checking


if($fileType != 'image/gif' &&
 $fileType != 'image/jpg' &&
 $fileType != 'image/jpeg'


 )     {
 echo 'Sorry this file type is not supported we accept only. Jpeg, Gif, PNG, or ';
 exit();
 } //file type checking ends here.
 $upFile = 'files/galaxywars/'.date('Y_m_d_H_i_s').$_FILES['prodImg']['name'];


if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES['prodImg']['tmp_name'])) {
 if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['prodImg']['tmp_name'], $upFile)) {
 echo 'Problem could not move file to destination. Please check again later. <a href="index.php">Please go back.</a>';
 exit;
 }
 } else {
 echo 'Problem: Possible file upload attack. Filename: ';
 echo $_FILES['prodImg']['name'];
 exit;
 }
 $prodImg = $upFile;
  //File upload ends here.


$upFile;
echo "Thank you for sending your file";


 ?>
<?php






include "menu3.php";


?>

Can anybody assist me please...

Solution 1

I think better use GUID as file name while storing. Create a table where you can store GUID and corresponding original file name. It will help you in future.
