File upload - nfaiz - 10-14-2020
Hi there,
I'm using
PHP Code:
$file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $fileName);
It's working but how to overwrite/replace the uploaded file with the same name?
Thank you

Here, I just wrote this real quick works but could use some more error checking.
Place this in a helper and load it in the BaseController helpers array.
PHP Code:
/**
* renameFile ()
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------
* The path is hard coded to the WRITEPATH/uploads.
*
* USAGE:
*
* renameFile($oldFileName, $newFileName)
*
* $oldFileName 'robots.txt'
* $newFileName 'test.txt'
*/
if ( ! function_exists('renameFile'))
{
/**
* renameFile ()
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* @param string $oldFileName
* @param string $newFileName
* @return bool
*/
function renameFile(string $oldFileName = '', string $newFileName = '')
{
if ($oldFileName == '' or $newFileName == '') {
return false;
}
return rename(
WRITEPATH . "/uploads/" . $oldFileName,
WRITEPATH . "/uploads/" . $newFileName
);
}
}

Thank you for your help. I greatly appreciate it. Maybe can use it somewhere later.

Problem solved. We need to put third parameter to true. But it is not written in our user guide
PHP Code:
$file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $fileName, true);
