Change image name while image uploading
In php we use file upload for uploading text file, image file and any document to our web application.
Some time we upload upload different image but the image name same at that time the old image replaced by last uploaded image.
Mostly in all social networking site all user upload their profile picture in account, what happens if some user upload same name image for profile picture. The last image displayed in both user profile picture, previous user profile picture replaced by new user profile picture.
To prevent above situation we need to rename the picture name while uploading, use some unique image name combination of unique userid with text..etc..
Rename Image name PHP Example
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Reanme image example</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="fileupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
Select image :
<input type="file" name="file"><br/>
Enter image name :<input type="text" name="filename"><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" name="Submit1">
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit1']))
{
$extension = pathinfo($_FILES["file"]["name"], PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$name = $_POST["filename"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], $name.".".$extension);
echo "Old Image Name = ". $_FILES["file"]["name"]."<br/>";
echo "New Image Name = " . $name.".".$extension;
}
?>
</body>
</html>The php example output is :
Mostly in all social networking site all user upload their profile picture in account, what happens if some user upload same name image for profile picture. The last image displayed in both user profile picture, previous user profile picture replaced by new user profile picture
you have to use some unique identification for user. such as userID, profileID. While changing/uploading profile picture that time change imagename, join id with imagename and then upload. Each user profile picture uploaded with unique image name.
