How to upload & Save Files with Desired name

Question

i am using this code to upload files(images to a folder)

<form action='' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input type='file' name='userFile'><br> <input type='submit' name='upload_btn' value='upload'> </form>  <?php $target_Path = "images/"; $target_Path = $target_Path.basename( $_FILES['userFile']['name'] ); move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['userFile']['tmp_name'], $target_Path ); ?> 

when the file(image) is saved at the specified path... WHAT if i want to save the file with some desired name....

i have tried replacing THIS

$target_Path = $target_Path.basename( $_FILES['userFile']['name'] ); 

WITH THIS

$target_Path = $target_Path.basename( "myFile.png" ); 

BUT it's not working

You can try this,

$info = pathinfo($_FILES['userFile']['name']); $ext = $info['extension']; // get the extension of the file $newname = "newname.".$ext;   $target = 'images/'.$newname; move_uploaded_file( $_FILES['userFile']['tmp_name'], $target);
