rename & parse error

Hi
I'm trying to rename images and get parse errors. the main isea can be found in the code below:

<?php
$name='m08';
$name=md5($name);
$newname=$name.gif;
echo $newname;
rename(uploads/m08.gif,uploads/$newname);
?>

PHP:

how should the code be to work?

 

You're leaving off a bunch of necessary quotes from your string constants.

<?php
$name='m08';
$name=md5($name);
$newname=$name . '.gif';
echo $newname;
rename('uploads/m08.gif','uploads/'.$newname);
?>

PHP:

 

thanks.
how about this one:

<?
 move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
      "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
      $newname=md5(time());
      rename('uploads/'. $_FILES["file"]["name"]','uploads/'.'$newname);
      echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
?>

PHP:

 

The line with rename has a syntax error. Remove the single quote from the last parameter '$newname so that it is just $newname.

You can check the syntax of a script without actually running it by calling the following from the command line:

php -l script_name.php

Code (markup):

Note that the parameter is lower-case "el", not the number one.

 

That was half the problem, there was also a single quote after $_FILES['...'] that shouldn't have been there.

rename('uploads/' . $_FILES["file"]["name"], 'uploads/' . $newname);

PHP:

 

Yup, missed that one. Didn't even listen to my own advice
