Question

In codeigniter I want to upload image to URL:

http://example.com/uploads/temp/

when I submit the form I want to get original image name and image maybe named like this when upload success:

http://example.com/uploads/temp/iphone5_2012_09_20_02_02_03.png

image name structure:

[original_name][year][month][day][hour][minute][second]

So how can I get original image name before upload in codeigniter?

Answer 1

You can retrieve the file name with:

$img_name = $_FILES['your_name_in_the_form']['name'];
