I am trying to upload a file and then rename the file as something else.
Everything worked fine unless the renamed filename already existed. So I added
some extra code to check if the filename already existed and if so to delete it
before renaming the uploaded file. Everything now works fine in the following
code:
$uploaddir = 'images/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
$imagefilename = $_POST['imagefilename'];
$renamedfile = $uploaddir . $imagefilename;
if (file_exists($renamedfile)) {
unlink($renamedfile);
}
rename($uploadfile , $renamedfile);
}
else {
echo "There was an error in your file upload. \n";
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);
}
That seems like a lot of code to do something relatively simple. So my question
is, is there a simpler way like forcing the rename function to overwrite an
existing file with the same filename if it exists.
