Add prefix to filename

[strtotime("now")]

Hi! Thanks for the snipplet. I'm trying out multiple uploads using the example provided. I would like to rename the uploaded file by adding a prefix "abc_". I tried to work on the part where we rename filename to date stamp by changing strtotime("now") to $prefix.$the_file. The prefix shows up but not the original filename. What variable should I use for the original filename?

Code:

function set_file_name($new_name = "") { // this "conversion" is used for unique/new filenames
if ($this->rename_file) {
if ($this->the_file == "") return;
$name = ($new_name == "") ? strtotime("now") : $new_name;
sleep(3);
$name = $name.$this->get_extension($this->the_file);
} else {
$name = str_replace(" ", "_", $this->the_file); // space will result in problems on linux systems
}
return $name;
}

Hello,

the multi upload is just a simple example the renaming function doesn't work with this example. You need to build your own loop to upload multiple renamed files, check this thread too: http://www.webdigity.com/index.php/topic,3015.0.Multiple+file+upload+%26amp%3B+storing+filenames.html
