Php Question

Hello,

I'm working on my image upload script. I am trying to rename the file in the script to go in the database. I want it to be the name they choose plus 1, so:

theirname1.jpg

im trying to do something like

$new_name = $name + 1;

Code (markup):

but it is not working. Does anyone know the right way?

Thanks!

 

$ext = end(explode('.', $name));

$new_name = basename($name, $ext) . "1.{$ext}";

PHP:

 

that damn nico beat me to it hehe but yeah, that's how you would do it.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

 

sure man no problem. though i didn't do much

 

Or here a fancy one-liner that would work with double extensions too.

$name = preg_replace('/(\.[a-z]{2,3})?\.[a-z]{2,5}$/i', '1$0', $name);

PHP:

 

what about extensions with numbers in ??

 

Never came across any... but this would work:

$name = preg_replace('/(\.[a-z0-9]{2,3})?\.[a-z0-9]{2,5}$/i', '1$0', $name);

PHP:

 

mp3, mp4 off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more, photoshop files ( plugins ) have numbers in thier extensions

 

Haha, you're right. How could I forget about that.

 

lapse in sanity maybe
