  1. POARRAY is preceding renamed filenames after upload - PHP
    text
    copied!<p>I am running a PHP script to upload files from a HTML form, rename them and place them on my server. It is uploading and renaming, however every file name now starts with the word "Array"<br> ie: <code>ArrayTest Document v1.0.pdf</code><br> I am fairly confident it isn't my <code>$newfn</code> variable as I display that in a table and it doesnt show up.</p> <pre><code>//This gets all the other information from the form $name=$_POST['docname']; $version=$_POST['docver']; $date=$_POST['docdate']; $type=$_POST['doctype']; $author=$_POST['docauth']; $file=$_FILES['uploaded']['name']; //target directory is assigned $target = $directory; $target = $target . basename($file) ; //grab file extension $filetypes = array( 'image/png' =&gt; '.png', 'image/gif' =&gt; '.gif', 'image/jpeg' =&gt; '.jpg', 'image/bmp' =&gt; '.bmp', 'application/pdf' =&gt; '.pdf'); $ext = $filetypes[$_FILES['uploaded']['type']]; //generate new filename variable "name v??.xxx" $newfn = $name . ' ' . 'v' . $version . $ext; //Check to see if file exists if (file_exists($directory . $file)) { echo $_FILES["uploaded"]["name"] . " already exists. "; } else { //if its a new file, change name and upload if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["uploaded"]["tmp_name"], $directory . $_FILES["uploaded"] . $newfn)) { echo "The file ". basename($file). " has been uploaded"; } else { echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; } } </code></pre> <p>I feel like it's related to my <code>$FILES['uploaded']</code> section in the <code>move_uploaded_file</code> command. I've tried googling but as soon as I mention "Array" my google results are nothing remotely the same.</p> <p><strong>Ok so thanks to below I solved it. For anyone in the future I removed the entire <code>$_FILES</code> array so the code reads as</strong></p> <pre><code>//if its a new file, change name and upload if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES["uploaded"]["tmp_name"], $directory . $newfn)) </code></pre> <p>Everything now uploads with the correct name structure. Thanks.</p>
