Hi
Following some guidance from Jane I am trying to rename a file on upload with various extension types.
My image field is "document" and my folder on the server is "documents". The ID I am trying to use is "grn"
I am using the followoing code in the before record updated...



global $files_move;

$ext = CheckImageExtension($_FILES["file_document"]["name"]);

foreach( $files_move as $key=>$val)

{if($val[0]==$_FILES["file_document"]["tmp_name"])

$files_move[$key][1] = "documents/grn".$oldvalues["grn"].".".$ext;

}

$values["document"] = "grn".$oldvalues["grn"].".".$ext;


The rename works fine except the extension is missing from both the document uploaded and renamed document field in the dataabse.
Can you help? ANy is gratefully received as always.

Hi,
to debug code print all values on the page.

If it doesn't help publish your project on Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending a URL to your pages along with instructions on reproducing this error.

garethp use the below rather than CheckImageExtension:

$ext = substr(strrchr($values["field"], '.'), 1);


So your code will look like this:

global $files_move;

$ext = substr(strrchr($values["document"], '.'), 1);

foreach( $files_move as $key=>$val)

{if($val[0]==$_FILES["file_document"]["tmp_name"])

$files_move[$key][1] = "documents/grn".$oldvalues["grn"].".".$ext;

}

$values["document"] = "grn".$oldvalues["grn"].".".$ext;


P.S I tried the CheckImageType and it only echoes blank no matter what, for whatever reason it's not picking up the values, but substr works great it detects that last . and gets your extension from that
