Upload File PHP

Hey all,

I have a php script that uploads songs to a directory and then I move them from there once I verify that they are the correct songs.

I have said Please have the song in Artist-SongName name mode, but about 50% of the idiots don't follow this so they just upload the song. Now, That's fine, I guess. I probably wouldn't take my time either since there's no real benefit.

I was wondering if I can do something to the php upload script that renames the file to:

$artist-$filename.ext (assuming $filename.ext is the file)

do people fill out what the song name and artist is in the form with the upload?

No sir.

The upload file is within the artist page, which means that the artist is pre-defined in the page already (via mysql query).

I have all the variables, I just dont know how to re-name the file to what I want it.

<?php
rename($filename, $artist."-".$filename);
?>

<?php
rename($filename, $artist."-".$filename);
?>


Do I need to set a new variable with this function, or does it just do it and I'm good to go?

You should check the filename before you move it and correct it in move_uploaded_file();
