Hello Jim this is the real code.
Index.php
[php]
Select Image:'.$row['caption'].'
'; echo 'and this is the addexec.php code
[php]<?php
include(‘config.php’);
if (!isset($_FILES[‘image’][‘tmp_name’])) {
echo “”;
}else{
$file=$_FILES[‘image’][‘tmp_name’];
$image= addslashes(file_get_contents($_FILES[‘image’][‘tmp_name’]));
$image_name= addslashes($_FILES[‘image’][‘name’]);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["image"]["tmp_name"],"photos/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"]);
$location="photos/" . $_FILES["image"]["name"];
$caption=$_POST['caption'];
$save=mysql_query("INSERT INTO photos (location, caption) VALUES ('$location','$caption')");
header("location: index.php");
exit();
}
?>
[/php]
now what i want to do is to rename the photo name and give random names to photos so that photos in photos folder on my server won’t overwrite each other. every photo must have unique name, using md5 rand method. please solve my problem, Thanks in Advance.
It’s just to change the file name, please post some code if you’ve tried something that doesn’t work.
Ps: what happens if you post the form with caption: This isn’t a horse
