PHP Image Upload Question

Hi everyone,

I have another question, im uploading an image to my ftp, and the name of it to MYSQL Database. I need to get the .jpg or .gif, how do I do that? Heres my code:

       $number = "1";

      $new_name = $car_name . "" .$number; 


	$upload = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic1']['tmp_name'], $images_path . "/" . $new_name);

      // Upload the file 
       
      if ($upload) { 
      // If the file was 
         echo "works";
       }

Code (markup):

 

<?php
$filename = "filename.jpg";

echo end( split("\.", $filename ) );

PHP:

 

I'm sorry, I am not very good at PHP, I don't understand this code.

 

<?php
$number = "1";

      $new_name = $car_name . "" .$number; 


	$upload = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic1']['tmp_name'], $images_path . "/" . $new_name);

      // Upload the file 
       
      if ($upload) { 
      // If the file was 
         printf('%s uploaded, it\'s extension is \'%s\'<br />', $images_path . "/" . $new_name, end( split('\.', $new_name ) ) );
       }
?>

PHP:

 

It still does not give me the .jpg, here is what it prints:

..../public_html/car_pics/pimpride1 uploaded, it's extension is 'pimpride1'


the name of the file was pimpride1 but it didnt get pimpride1.jpg

Do you know why?

Thanks!

 

well I don't have all the information available because you didnt post the whole script, I assumed $new_name would contain the filename and extension, it seems it only contains the filename and number

 

    $number = "1";

    $new_name = "$car_name$number." . end(explode('.', $_FILES['pic1']['name']); 

    $upload = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic1']['tmp_name'], $images_path . "/" . $new_name);

    // Upload the file 
       
    if ($upload) { 
        // If the file was 
        echo "works";
    }

PHP:

 

Don't use the tmp_name to get the file extension, because it'll be different that the original one. Use $_FILES['pic1']['name'].

 

It's what happens when you are lazy and copy paste and then forget to change it...
But you were not supposed to see that, I edited that a few seconds after I posted

 

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['pic1']['tmp_name'], $images_path . "/" . $new_name);

PHP:

Is this method from PHP?

 

function, and yeah it is, you can see its linked to the docs in the
