    Hi Folks,

    Have an odd script problem with PHP.

    I'm using this script here as it allows me to resize etc really easily

    Link: http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/blog/resizing-images-with-php/

    The problem is that I can't seem to get the name of the image or the extension. Here is my code:
    //New Upload

include('SimpleImage.php');
      $image = new SimpleImage(); //Create class
      $image->load($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name']); //Load the file
      $image->resizeToWidth(285); //Resize
      //$image->output(); //Debug output
$image->save('uploads/picture2.jpg');

    This works fine. However if I try the following:
    //Get file extension
$fullfile =  $_FILES["logo"]["tmp_name"]; //Try to get the full file name

//Or try this

$fullfile =  basename($_FILES["logo"]["tmp_name"]); //Doesn't work either
echo $fullfile;

    Also want I really want to do is make each picture named differently with a salt so no two pictures have the same name. Hence why I need the extension, so that I can store it in the database

    
$saveString = md5($_FILES['logo'].time()); //Use time as a salt
echo $saveString; //Works fine

//Try to add the extension
$saveString = $saveString."."$_FILES['tmp_name']; //No joy doing this
//Add $saveString to DB

    I should note, in a simpler script the upload works fine. It just seems to be getting the extension is a problem.

    Any pointers on any of the above?

    The tmp_name is just that - a temp name, often ending in .tmp

    You need to get the actual file name & extension from the original form variable used to post the file

    Also there's a concatenation dot missing after the ."." in the last line of code.

    Cheers for that. I solved it earlier today and that was the issue.
    
//New Upload Method

$imageName = $_FILES["logo"]["name"];
//echo $imageName;

$extension = explode('.',$imageName); //Get extension i.e. After the dot
//echo $extension[1];

      include('SimpleImage.php');
      $image = new SimpleImage();
      $image->load($_FILES['logo']['tmp_name']);
      $image->resizeToWidth(285);
      //$image->output();

$saveString = md5($imageName.time()); //A random unique name
//echo $saveString;

$final = $saveString.".".$extension[1]; //The image to save plus extension
echo $final;
$final = "uploads/".$saveString.".".$extension[1]; //Add the path
$image->save($final); //Save

//End New

echo $final;
$final = "uploads/".$saveString.".".$extension[1]; //Add the path
$image->save($final); //Save

//End New
    No bother.

    If it's an open form I'd put in a few extra checks to ensure someone doesn't upload something malicious.
