Move Uploaded File > Quick problem

[chrisb]

Hi Guys,

Very quick one. I'm trying to upload a file and force an extension name on it:

$file_exten = ".wmv"; 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], "../../../story_media/video/".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].time(), $file_exten)){ 

As you can see I have created a variable to do this, but it throws up an error can't move uploaded file.

However if I have this code without the $file_exten - ie:

$file_exten = ".wmv"; 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], "../../../story_media/video/".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].time())){ 

It uploads? So any idea why the first statement won't?

Thanks

Chris

Well, the first statement has three arguments and move_uploaded_file only accepts two. The arguments are
1. File to be moved
2. Where to move

Try this:

$file_exten = ".wmv"; 

$FileName = $_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name']; //Makes statement easier to read
if(move_uploaded_file($FileName, "../../../story_media/video/" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].time() . $FileName . $file_exten){ 

Hope this helps.
