OK, this is a little more clear now.

The only way you can get data from one page to another is either via a
form field or the $_SESSION variable.

In a case like this, I'd just use the hidden field to pass the old name.
If the user uploads a new file, use it. Otherwise just use the old
file (the one passed in the hidden field).
