Question

$now = time();
while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.'-'.$_FILES[$fieldname]        
['name']))
 {
$now++;
 }

Does anybody know how to put this into a variable so i can insert the result into a database?

EDIT:

Sorry, to be a bit clearer:

I need the image filename thats is generated from this while loop into a variable so i can insert that into the database.

for example if i were to upload a file called ‘mypic.png’ it becomes:

1335367953-mypic.

This is the string i need in a variable.

Answer 1

try:

basename($uploadFilename);
