Re: [PHP-DB] Renaming a file uploaded by a form.
did you compile PHP with --enable-mime-magic? if not, this extension will not work. there are work arounds. one isa class that resides on phpclasses.org that will give you a mime based on the file extension. and i'm sure there are other ways hth jeff "Info@Best-IT" , <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 01/04/2003 Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Renaming a file uploaded by a form. 12:25 PM Thanks for all your help. I got the file OK and I figured out how to rename it and make it an attachment to an email. But one thing is not working for me. When I look for the mime type I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mime_content_type() When I call it to define a variable: $ftype = mime_content_type($file) Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this?

Re: [PHP-DB] Renaming a file uploaded by a form.
copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],"/real/path/to/$_FILES['userfile']
['name']");

uploaded by a form.

I have a script that uploads form data to a MySQL server then emails the
form data to alert people that an upload occurred.
I am having trouble getting the form to upload my file with the actual
filename. The filename seems to be created by the PHP machine (wild guess)
but it looks like this:
/var/tmp//phptkYxkV
Any ideas on how to get it to look like: filename.doc would be greatly
appreciated.
/Tim
