File upload

Hi there,


I'm using

PHP Code:

$file->move(WRITEPATH.'uploads', $fileName); 


to upload a file.

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
        );
    }
}

 return rename(

 }
} 


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);
