Manipulte uploaded file before saving - El Forum - 08-25-2008 [eluser]Bursh[/eluser] Hey I'm trying to manipulate an uploaded files name before saving it in the folder (so that I have a regular naming convention within the folders) but I can't seem to find any function that would allow that in CI. Can anybody help me out on this one? Regards, Bursh. Manipulte uploaded file before saving - El Forum - 08-25-2008 [eluser]fatnic[/eluser] You could upload the file into a temp directory. Then do your 'manipulations', copy to permanent folder, then delete the temp file.

The only way I can think of to do it is not use the CodeIgniter upload library and use native PHP instead.

You can rename the file without creating a temporary file to be deleted. Code: $base_name = 'upload'.$id; Manipulte uploaded file before saving - El Forum - 08-26-2008 [eluser]Bursh[/eluser] [quote author="fesweb" date="1219710167"]It depends on what you mean by "before."
