File Upload - Setting a Name

[Medyman]

Hey guys...

How do I set a filename using the code below? I'd like for the image to be called header.jpg and overwrite the existing file of the same name.

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner'])) exit; 
    if (is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['tmp_name'])) { 
        if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['size']>$max_size) { echo "The file is too big"; exit; } 
        if (($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['type']=="image/jpeg")) { 
            $res = copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['tmp_name'], $path . 
            $HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['name']); 
            
            if (!$res) { $msg2 = "Upload Error"; exit; } 
            else { $msg = "Update Processed"; } 
            
        } 
        else { echo "Wrong file type"; exit; } 
    } 
    $my_file = $HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['name'];

Looks like it's $HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['name']);

Really, you can just copy the code using move_uploaded_file() from php.net here:

I'd also use image/jpg in there just to be safe:

if (($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['type']=="image/jpeg") || ($HTTP_POST_FILES['banner']['type']=="image/jpg")) { 

The other thing is that you can use $_FILES instead of $HTTP_POST_FILES...which, I think is a lot easier. But your server and/or PHP version may not support that.

Anyway, just throwing those things out there.
