G garethp authorDevClub member Hi I have seen some posts on this but not sure how to implement the complete code. I need to rename an uploaded file to have the same of the id of the record it is being uploaded to. I have seen the following code... global $files_move; foreach( $files_move as $key=>$val) {if($val[0]==$_FILES["file_image_url"]["tmp_name"]) $files_move[$key][1] = "photo/PH".$values["employee_number"].".jpg"; } $values["image_url"] = "PH".$values["employee_number"].".jpg"; This is ok for jpg's but what if you have numerous extensions. I have seen you can check the extension with... $ext = CheckImageExtension($_FILES["file_FieldName"]["name"]); However, I am unsure how to properly combine these. Can you please help? Many thanks Gareth

	Gareth, here is a sample: global $files_move; $ext = CheckImageExtension($_FILES["file_image_url"]["name"]); foreach( $files_move as $key=>$val) {if($val[0]==$_FILES["file_image_url"]["tmp_name"]) $files_move[$key][1] = "photo/PH".$values["employee_number"].".".$ext; } $values["image_url"] = "PH".$values["employee_number"].".".$ext;
